Grilling brings us back to the primitive origins of cuisine and provides an opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, friends and fine food all at once. Historically, the grill or fire pit has held an important place in virtually every country and culture. In our busy, modern lives, grilling celebrates the delightful simplicity and naturally bold flavors that whole food provides, and allows us to explore flavors of the world without leaving our own backyards.

Whether you're a fan of veggies and fruit, poultry, beef or pork, meat substitutes or seafood (or all of it!) all it takes is a little flavor (or sometimes a lot) and the right technique to make grilling special.
