Kick off your summer with one of our favorite chefs, Mario Batali. In his book, Italian Grill , he gives you eighty recipes that makes it the ultimate handbook on Italian grilling and an instant must-have cookbook for the home grillers.

The recipes are easy to use and take the mystery out of making tasty, simple, smoky Italian food. The book also includes helpful information on different heat-source options, grilling techniques and essential equipment. Italian Grill features appetizers, pizza, flatbreads, fish and shellfish, poultry, meat and vegetables. When met with the open fire of the grill, each bite is transformed into the perfect mix of natural ingredients and flavor.

Mario Batali has seven New York City hot spots and new restaurants in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The author of the James Beard Award-winning Molto Italiano and four other cookbooks, Batali appears regularly on television. He lives in New York City with his wife and their two sons.
