Product Description
Book Description
Meat lovers and vegetarians alike will find this cookbook appealing, for it's got a burger for everyone. It's international in taste: think seekh kebob burger, or a Tuscan turkey burger with a balsamic glaze, or perhaps an Asian-inspired carrot mushroom tofu burger. The Great Big Burger Book is a veritable burger bible, from tips on how to make the perfect burger, to burger trivia (the Tartars invented the earliest form of burger-- steak tartare) to the addresses of the best burger joints in America.

Tired of the Same Old Burgers? You'll Love This Book!!
14 Jun 2003
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Although I have eaten my share of burgers, I have always thought of them as boring. You grill them, slap on a slice of cheese, a tomato slice, whatever sauce you like and eat on a soft and often tasteless bun.
Well....along comes The Great Big Burger Book and with it a whole new dimension on just what constitutes a burger. Certainly there are the traditional meat (beef, pork, veal and even lamb) burgers, but my interest was piqued by the chapter entitled: Burgers That Take Flight: Chicken, Turkey and Duck. Using ground poultry allows you to cut the fat content of a burger and the recipes don't cut the taste and flavor. I have always enjoyed Chicken Marsala and when I saw the recipe for Chicken Marsala Burgers, I immediately tried it. Your family and guests, not to mention yourself will really like that one. The photo of a Bolognese Turkey Burger with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Green Olives looks delicious, and I'm happy to report that it also tastes as good as it looks.
But the book doesn't stop there. There is an entire chapter dedicated to burgers made with fish and shell fish. I haven't tried them yet as the weather here in Maine has been just awful this spring, and this type of burger should be cooked outdoors. But there are recipes for lobster and scallop burgers and since I love both, I plan to try them as soon as Mother Nature cooperates.
For vegetarians, there are recipes using portobello mushrooms,falafel, quinoa, tofu, eggplant and chickpeas, to mention a few. That chapter fittingly is entitled: Redefining the Burger.
Admittedly, there are ingredients that may be unfamiliar to the reader. For those people (and I am one), there is a glossary of ingredients and an ingredient source list which tells you where you can find the products that may not be available in your area.
This is a wonderful resource for entertaining. Your guests will be amazed by your culinary expertise when you serve them a healthy burger packed with new flavors. Your backyard menus will never be the same or 'boring' anymore!

Vegetarian Turned Carnivore
31 Mar 2003
Format:Hardcover
I originally bought this book for the vegetarian recipes, but after making some of the meat recipes for a dinner party I have started eating meat again. I use these recipes all the time! GREAT BOOK. I wanted to buy this for all my friends and family, but I don't want them to know my secrets!!! Highly recommend!!!!

Variety to our summer.
16 April 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This little book has been really helpful in adding some variety to our grilling. The book is divided up nicely into catagories by meat. Lot's of pictures and all fairly simple to make. We have enjoyed a few recipes from this book and look forward to experimenting with some more.
