ROB RAINFORD

BORN TO GRILL

Over 100 Recipes From My Backyard To Yours

Rob Rainford was born to grill, and now he’s taking grilling to a whole new level! Born to Grill showcases his barbecue prowess in over 100 recipes and 20 complete menus from around the world – designed for hosting family and friends around your backyard barbeque.

For Rob, grilling is about entertaining – it’s about spending time together, cooking and eating outdoors. It’s also about pushing the boundaries of what you think you can do on the grill. In Born to Grill he shares his unique slant on grilling with 20 menus for you to mix and match, for both charcoal or gas grills. Featured recipes are international, influenced by Rob’s travels and experiences in different countries and cultures. There are plenty of great grill classics (with a Rainford twist), but he really pushes BBQ boundaries with some true grilling originals and expert techniques, like cold smoking. Born to Grill takes you where no barbeque book has gone before, because Rob knows the grill can handle so much more than burgers and steaks. There’s still plenty of beef in here, but also lamb, chicken, fish, seafood, veal, duck, a huge range of vegetables, plenty of sides, and even salads! All cooked on the grill.

Rob Rainford is a professionally-trained Canadian chef who was born in Jamaica and grew up in downtown Toronto, surrounded by the smells of sizzling grills. He graduated from George Brown College and his professional career has taken him all over the world. Rob hosted the wildly popular Food Network TV show, License to Grill (which aired in Canada, the USA, Australia, Africa and Asia), and has spent the last two years perfecting his signature style, The Rainford Method, unveiled in this book. Rob has always loved mastering the challenges that unravel when working with a wider variety of foods, but his one true love has always been the grill. He lives in Toronto with his wife and two daughters.

Teresa’s Low-Fat, Super-Easy Italian Recipes

From the author of the New York Times bestseller, Skinny Italian Teresa Giudice with Heather Maclean.

Following on the heels of her two New York Times bestselling cookbooks, Skinny Italian and Fabulicious, Teresa Guidice is back with her third cookbook – this time focusing on simplicity and healthfulness in Italian cooking. FABULICIOUS! FAST & FIT: Teresa’s Low-Fat, Super-Easy Italian Recipes continues her philosophy that Italian food can be simple, healthy and quick, while remaining as delicious as ever! Teresa’s signature tell-it-like-it-is attitude, made famous on Bravo’s The Real Housewives of New Jersey, translates into her genuine passion for healthful, family style cooking showcased in 190 mouth-watering pages.

She implores readers to get rid of unhealthy eating habits and ingredients, and instead embrace the Italian way of preparing and enjoying food using healthy, wholesome ingredients to make delicious meals with love. The recipes in FABULICIOUS! FAST & FIT are simple enough for casual home cooks, and elegant enough to make even seasoned chefs proud.

Sprinkled with fitness tips, family anecdotes and laugh-out-loud witticism, the recipes include delicious twists on old classics such as Veggie Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms and Herb-Crusted Tilapia, making them quicker and healthier. Each recipe takes less than 30 minutes from start to stove – so that cooks will spend less time in the kitchen, allowing for more time with family and friends.

Overflowing with traditional Italian recipes, full-color photographs, and narrated by Teresa’s unmistakable humour, the book manages to focus on adapting Italian food to be healthier, tastier, and quicker for the whole family.

Some of the tips and advice featured in FABULICIOUS! FAST & FIT include:

  • Workout tips – from treadmill advice to suggested playlist
  • Italian pantry staples – a suggested list of items to keep your pantry stocked and ready to go
  • Popular Italian phrases and words translated
  • Guidelines for replacing creamy high-carb Italian favourites with healthier, lighter options
  • Plus much more: a whole chapter on guilt-free (well, almost) desserts, pointers for using the backyard grill, vegetarian options galore, and an index with complete nutritional information for each recipe

With FABULICIOUS! FAST & FIT, readers will discover what fans of her previous books have known all along – when it comes to presenting authentic, homestyle Italian meals, Teresa Guidice is the real deal!
