Sam Zien – författare

Your quest is over—the holy grail of outdoor cooking is here. Unique, charismatic and a damn fine cook, Sam the Cooking Guy has made perfecting backyard barbecuing his worthy mission. From keeping a chicken breast tender to smoking a turkey, from “dino ribs” to artichokes, these recipes will take your grill game to the next level. Gas versus charcoal? Why is mayo magical? What if a vegetarian is coming for dinner? These questions and more are answered in this indispensable guide to cooking with fire and smoke. Perfect for beginners and seasoned grill aficionados alike, these 100+ recipes include appetisers, vegetables, chicken (and one duck!), seafood, kebabs, side dishes and desserts. Start with the Caveman Steak and work up to the Whole Grilled Fish with Cilantro, Chile and Lime. Make it a full-course meal with the Chopped Grilled Caesar and Angel Food Cake with Grandma Ruth’s Chocolate Sauce and Grilled Pineapple.

Say goodbye to fourth-night-in-a-row meat loaf and identical containers of tragically “meal-prepped” chicken thighs. YouTube cooking sensation and restauranteur Sam the Cooking Guy is here to save us from mediocre leftovers. With 20 bulk-cooking master dishes, each featuring a main protein, with corresponding follow-up meals that all benefit from the work you’ve already done, Sam ensures that you’ll never be bored in the kitchen again! Sam’s recipes are simple and quick, but never tired. Your Mexican Meat Loaf from Sunday can shapeshift into Tuesday night’s Tacos or Thursday’s Sloppy Joes. Monday’s Roast Chicken becomes Wednesday’s Thai Chicken Curry or Friday’s Baked Taquitos. “Aw man, Beer-Braised Short Ribs again?” “Nah: Short Rib Egg Rolls!” Sam’s genuine and engaging personality, along with vibrant colour photography, makes this book a lifesaver for busy folks who are looking for dinners that they can finally be excited about.
