  Once found mainly in the American kitchen, drive-ins, and fast food establishments, burgers now appear on the late night menu of the club of the moment and are served in the poshest dining rooms. Today, the no-longer-humble burger comes in many variations, from grilled ground lamb on a thick sourdough roll served with Yukon Gold potato salad and balsamic roasted red cabbage to ground turkey mixed with spicy southwestern salsa on a soft tortilla with jicama slaw. Burgers Every Way starts off with a history of the iconic burger. Author Emily Haft Bloom then covers burger basics - from purchasing ingredients to a guide to safe cooking temperatures - and the different kinds of breads, rolls, and condiments that can be served with this classic sandwich. The recipe section is divided into chapters on burgers prepared with beef, veal, lamb, pork, poultry, fish, and vegetables. Each chapter begins with a famous burger recipe from a regional restaurant; following are burger menus that include tasty accompaniments and drink pairings. With easy recipes for dishes like Pesto Burgers served on Italian bread with Chopped Arugula and Yellow Tomato Salad, Portobello Mushroom Burgers served on onion rolls with Red Pepper Hummus, and Pizza Burgers with Tomato Sauce served on a bun, this book is a must-have for the family cook.
