When I left San Francisco to move to Vermont I left behind my terrible sea-air-corroded grill on my fire escape. My first purchase in my new home was a shiny new grill. I was thrilled because grilling is my favorite way to cook. So of course I get into all of the holidays that are about grilling: Memorial Day, Labor Day, July 4th and Father’s Day.
This year we included six grill-roasting recipes in our May/June issue of EatingWell that are awesome. The idea of grill roasting is that you cook your food on the grill over indirect heat rather than over searing flames. Why do this? It allows you to cook big thick roasts or whole birds without scorching them on the outside and leaving them raw inside.

If the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, why do we buy our dads clothing for Father’s Day? Specifically, neckties? Skinny ones. Fat ones. Hideous polka-dotted spotted ones that should have been retired when disco died in the ‘70s. Enough is enough. Dads don’t crave ties; they want food. During the summer months, dad will likely be prepping the grill for a barbecue. And in the book, America’s Best BBQ, dads will find a virtual bible of the craft. Read More »

"I'd much rather have something you made than a tie," my Dad always used to say when I'd ask him what he wanted for Father's Day. My handmade cards aren't much better today, but this weekend I am making him a healthy gift from the kitchen he’ll love! Read More »

What famous father does yours resemble? Is your father like George H.W. Bush, dependable, consistent, and rule-enforcing? Perhaps your dad is more like John F. Kennedy or Teddy Roosevelt who were laid-back and encouraged risk-taking or like Martin Luther King, Jr., who was a father who wanted to… Read More »
