Review Quotes:
"This might just be my favorite book of Gaby's to date, and that's saying a lot because I love them all! Plus, FINALLY, we have a grilling book from a female author! This book demystifies all things grilling, making it easier than ever to get outside, enjoy the outdoors, and grill up delicious food with the ones we love most. These recipes are for everyone--not just the pitmasters of the world; recipes like her Grilled Cumin Chicken Kebabs, Cedar Plank Salmon with Tartar Sauce, and Grilled Spicy Diavolo Pizza are perfect for all levels of cooks! I'll be using this grilling season after grilling season and cannot wait to share these recipes with my family and friends!"-- Alex Snodgrass, NYT bestselling author and creator of the Defined Dish

Review Quotes:
"Finally: a book that demystifies grilling for the home cook. I get it--flames seem scary. But Gaby shows us that there is truly no easier way to get a weeknight meal on the table for your family, or to entertain guests, than by throwing a bunch of food on the grill and letting it do the work. Gaby walks her readers through every step of the process to show them just how easy it is to master the grill. PS: the Grilled Brie with Grapes is life changing."-- Caroline Chambers, author of What to Cook When You Don't Feel Like Cooking

Review Quotes:
"Like Taylor Swift with a guitar, or Caitlin Clark with a basketball, Gaby Dalkin with a pair of tongs is one serious mutha of a combination. Step back from your barbecues, gentleman, you're about to get schooled on the grill, by a girl."-- Catherine McCord, founder of Weelicious

Review Quotes:
"It is a known fact that behind every strong businesswoman you'll find a surly, foulmouthed, tattooed gay man. OK, that might not be the case for all, but it most certainly is for Gaby Dalkin. I unabashedly take full credit for all her most successful culinary and style decisions, and let's be honest, if it didn't perform well, it's all on her. I can only be in so many places at once."-- Adam Pearson, culinary director and advisor on all things vibe

Review Quotes:
"Gaby's newest book, Grilling All the Things, is a winner and will please any griller from novices (like us) to masters."-- Lynn Blitzer and Wolf Blitzer

Review Quotes:
"Five stars."-- Poppy Dawson, Gaby's very opinionated three-year-old toddler

Review Quotes:
"Two years ago, I asked Gaby to teach me how to use my new grill. She wildly misunderstood the assignment and instead wrote an entirely new cookbook full of delicious, creative (and thankfully foolproof) recipes for the grill. I was honestly just looking for instruction on how to not burn off my eyebrows, but luckily this book covers that too."-- Emily Favreau, mom, Gaby's friend, and grill master

Review Quotes:
"Growing up, my childhood best friend's main food groups were quesadillas, double chocolate muffins, and guava juice. I've seen her suck ketchup packets as a snack. No one is more surprised than I am that Gaby Dalkin is now a famous chef whose recipes I use daily (mostly because she rarely cooks for me, and I have to see what all the hype is about). Spoiler alert: the hype is real!"-- Emily Jerome, Gaby's childhood bestie and current unpaid therapist and PR advisor

Review Quotes:
"ChatGPT: Please write a short blurb for my friend's cookbook. It's coming out soon, and it's all about grilling. You can mention that the recipes are PHENOMENAL (as usual!) and say something about knocking it outta the ballpark, but don't make it toooooo over the top cuz she will run with it. YAWNNNNN. ALSO--AND THIS IS IMPORTANT--talk about how AMAZING and GORGEOUS the photos are!!!!!! You can use extra exclamation points, but don't make it sound tooo TikTok-y or it'll be a dead giveaway. PROMPTS: gorgeous photography, stunning photography, beautiful photography, perfect photography, mouthwatering photography, THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY, yum-yum, grilling is good too, blah blah blah, whatever. THANK YOU!"-- Matt Armendariz, photographer to the stars and creative director to all things What's Gaby Cooking

Review Quotes:
"There I was, hours on end at the 'Q' making burgers, chicken, steaks, and ribs with this little girl running around saying only, 'When is it going to be done, Daddy?' . . . who'd a thunk she was actually paying attention to style and technique . . . Well, as hoped, she clearly has one-upped me and created a beautiful, tasty (the food, not the actual book) cookbook that everyone can find many things in to love."-- Gaby's dad

Review Quotes:
"I didn't read this book. Know why? I wrote most of it. That's not true--not MOST of it. But the bangers: the 'Don't Stop Believin's.' The 'Mr. Brightsides.' All me. That kale one? Gaby did it. Unless you liked it, then also me. In reality, TOTALLY NOT because of a bet she lost to me many years ago, I acquired the rights to 'one (1) cocktail section and one (1) pork chop recipe in a grilling book to be named later, plus one (1) blurb about my role in the book.' You've just read the blurb. You'll soon read the recipes. And my long reign of control over the What's Gaby Cooking empire is finally over."-- Zack Jerome

Review Quotes:
"With this new book, Gaby is the grilling queen we all need! She's single-handedly changing grilling from scary and hard to juicy and charred--and having lots of fun along the way!"-- Dan Pelosi, NYT bestselling author and founder of GrossyPelosi
