Grilling season is upon us and at the Epicurious offices, we are waist deep in new books on the topic. One of the season's standouts comes from our sister food publication, Bon Appetit, which just published The Grilling Book. It has more than 300 grill-friendly recipes, from drinks to dips, mops to marinades, satays to slaws. The tome includes a handy practical guide to mastering the flames for those who weren't born with a stainless spatula in their mouth.

Why do grilled shrimp have to be so darn appealing? It drives me a little crazy every time I catch a whiff of them on a backyard grill or linger on a mouthwatering photograph like the one above. I want to eat them. Now. Give me shrimp singed in spots and crusted with garlic and chile flakes any day over cold, poached shrimp hanging out on the edge of a bowl of cocktail sauce. Shrimp sizzling over glowing coals triggers an instant replay of a favorite memory: I've just arrived in Nice, France. ... Quick Read |

I was dreading going out to dinner last night because Mother's Day happens to be one of waiters' most hated holidays, but friends were celebrating the 34th anniversary of their first date(!) and wanted us to meet them at Toloache 50, a really good Mexican restaurant off Times Square (something else I avoid). And we had a perfectly fine evening, with servers who seemed anything but beaten and fried. The best part: We two non-moms were presented with chocolate truffles in little boxes reading ...
