  In the ever-hot market of grilling and barbecue cookbooks - heavily skewed towards men - no book has focused on giving women a turn at the grill. Dressed to Grill fills that gap, offering 50 irresistible recipes that appeal to the way women cook today: fast and furious, but with an emphasis on adventure and plenty of curiosity (and a healthy nod to low-fat ingredients). The sassy text and recipe titles evoke the fun of a dinner party and the bonding and conversational tone of a slumber party. Dishes explore every aspect of modern grilling girl-dom from watching your weight (Waistland Salad, Svelte Salmon with Fig Balsamic Sauce) and getting back at your boyfriend (Chauvinist Pig, How Could I Be Sarong?) to comforting sweets (Campy S'mores Sundae with Toasted Marshmallows, PMS Espresso-Chocolate-Walnut Brownies) and plenty of party menus (Ladies Who Brunch, Girls Bonding Weekend) for easy planning. Toss in some wild drinks and a chapter with tips on how to light your grill, what charcoal to buy, and what type of wood works best for smoking, and you are on your way to grilling independence.
