Plank Cooking: The Essence Of Natural Wood is introduced by directions for preparing a plank of alder, hickory, maple, oak, or other wood. Simple pieces of beef, pork, poultry, or fish as well as all kinds of fruits and vegetables can be cooked on a plank over a grill or in an oven to give it a delicious, smoky flavor picked up from the plank. But the one hundred recipes by the much-traveled authors are for more involved recipes that are more flavorful using spices, cheeses, sauces, and other ingredients. Grilled Peaches with Vanilla Topping; Aciote Pork Roast; Whitetail Tenderloin with Blue Cheese; Snapper with Creamed Vegetables; and Oyster Bacon bites are only a few of the appetizing recipes that can be done with plank cooking. Plank cooking is not difficult. But you want to learn how to do it right by going to this simple instructional guide including the numerous exceptional recipes.
