we’re fired up! When you’re going for big flavor and low PersonalPoints™, nothing beats grilling. It delivers that delicious one-two punch, every time, all year long. Whether you’re outdoors or in the kitchen, using a grill pan or gas or charcoal, electric, kamado, you name it, this book is filled with the best recipes. We’ve chosen the most flavorful, beautiful dishes—from dips to desserts—that you can enjoy in any season. Grilling can be simple or sophisticated, social or solo, and you can cook indoors for ease or outside to free up your stove for extra cooking—or to keep the heat out of the kitchen on a hot summer day! Before your food hits the grates, try one of our marinades or spice rubs. A high-heat sear delivers grill marks and caramelization, and longer cooking over lower heat adds smoky goodness to food. You can add even more layers of flavor with an easy salsa or dipping sauce. This book is loaded with delicious ideas. All together: Yum! From veggies for guacamole to phenomenal pizzas and pastas, the best burgers and steak, lightning-fast fish, and excitement-worthy chicken, to desserts like skillet cookies and cobbler that let you use your grill like an oven, this book makes room on the grates for everything. Fire up your grill and let’s cook!

TYPES OF GRILLS

GAS GRILLS These can be fueled by a direct gas line that connects your grill to your home’s gas line or a portable propane tank. People love gas grills for their ready-whenyou-are convenience; just turn it on and start cooking.
competitive BBQers, has been gaining popularity with backyard grillers. It’s all-natural, lights quickly, and burns hotter than briquettes. Charcoal also burns faster so it’s a more expensive option.
GRILL PANS This cookware comes in different sizes, shapes, and materials. Cast iron is very popular and durable; stainless steel and anodized aluminum are lighter-weight options that heat well but don’t hold high temperatures quite as well as cast iron does. All these types of pans can be used indoors on the stovetop (and in the oven), as well as outside on the grill, making them an excellent tool to have at your disposal.
OTHER GRILLS CHARCOAL GRILLS These rely on briquettes or lump charcoal to create smoke and heat. Briquettes are a combination of wood scraps, sawdust, and additives compressed into a recognizable pillow shape. Briquettes burn consistently for a fairly long time and are inexpensive and easy to find. Lump charcoal, which has always been popular with pit masters and
Though gas and charcoal are by far the most popular grill types, there are others out there. Here are a few you might encounter the next time you’re shopping for a grill.
ELECTRIC These come in many shapes and iterations. Electric grills can be for indoor or outdoor cooking; there are

countertop and freestanding models; and they’re a popular choice when grilling over an open flame isn’t an option— out on an apartment balcony, for example.
PELLET Also known as pellet smokers, these electric grills use wood pellets as a fuel source and are emerging as a solid choice. They deliver consistent, smoky heat via a convection-like heating system and can be used for traditional high-heat searing, as well as smoking, roasting, and even baking. One key benefit is the ability to set it and forget it for recipes that require a long cook time. Until fairly recently, pellet grills were primarily the domain of serious pit masters. Now the grills are manufactured more widely and becoming more popular.
KAMADO Another wood-burning style, these grills are usually made from ceramic so they retain heat incredibly well. The most well-known kamado brand is the Big Green Egg. The kamado grill uses wood chips as fuel and is as equally good at high-temp pizza making and grilling as it is at slower cooking at lower temperatures.
INTRODUCTION
When choosing a grill, there are a few decisions to make. For outdoor cooking, the most popular choices are gas and charcoal grills. There are others on the market, too, and we’ll talk about a few of those. And, of course, there are grill pans and other options for grilling indoors.
GEAR & GADGETS
MUST-HAVES BASIC GRILLING TOOL SET This should include a sturdy meat fork, spatula, and tongs—preferably all metal. (Rubber or plastic on the tips can melt over time and affect the longevity of a tool.)
GRILL BRUSH You need to clean your grill grates every time you use the grill, so expect to replace your brush every 3 months or so (as you would a toothbrush). Consider a bristle-free brush to prevent pieces of the brush breaking off and ending up in your food. MEAT THERMOMETER An essential safety tool for checking the internal temperature of food. There are numerous digital and analog versions on the market, including high-tech options that connect to your smartphone. (Wear gloves or mitts to protect your hands when inserting and removing the thermometer.)
WORTH CONSIDERING METAL OR WOODEN SKEWERS Get a set of these so you’re ready to make kebabs when the urge strikes. Flat skewers are always a good option because they prevent food from spinning around when you turn the skewers over on the grill.
11
CHARCOAL CHIMNEY STARTER This is a tool for charcoal grills that lets you measure the quantity of coals, light and heat them easily and efficiently, and then pour them out onto the coal grate in whatever configuration you need. (The chimney is a hollow metal cylinder with a handle for pouring.) SPLATTER SCREEN If you’re cooking on a grill pan, especially indoors, a splatter screen will contain grease splatter and minimize cleanup on the stovetop and surrounding area. MESH OR PERFORATED BASKETS, SHEETS, AND PANS Use these when cooking vegetables (or meats) or any food that is cut into small pieces or has a shape that could easily fall through the grates. (Hello, asparagus.)
LONGER SPATULA AND WIRE-MESH FISH BASKET You’ll want these to turn
large fish and to make easy work of flipping fillets, steaks, and small whole fish.
WORKING WITH
w oode n s ke we r s Soak wooden skewers in water for 20 minutes before using them to keep them from burning on the grill.

Before you start grilling, make sure you have everything you need.
HALIBUT WITH CHARRED TOMATOES, LEMONS, AND OLIVES, PAGE 199
LIGHT THE GRILL
DIRECT HEAT High-heat grilling and cooking directly over the heat source. Think searing and grill marks. INDIRECT HEAT Grilling off to the side of the heat source at non-searing temperatures for a longer amount of time (usually 20-plus minutes).
TWO-ZONE COOKING A fancy term for a combination of direct heat and indirect heat. It’s a great way to grill when you’re cooking different foods that need time at different temperatures. You’ll set up one area for direct heat and another area for indirect heat. Direct heat will get you those nice grill marks, and then you’ll use the cooler side of the grill to finish cooking.
GAS GRILLS Before preparing your grill for direct heat and indirect heat, preheat it first.
DIRECT HEAT Turn all the burners to the desired cooking temperature and you’re ready.
INDIRECT HEAT Turn off the burners directly below the grates where you’ll place food. Leave on the burners on either side of the cooking area and turn them to the desired temperature. Close the
INTRODUCTION
When recipes instruct you to prepare your grill for direct heat, indirect heat, or two-zone cooking, here’s what that all means.
lid to let the grill reach that temperature.
CHARCOAL GRILLS A general rule of thumb is the more coal you use, the higher the temperature of your fire. If you’re using a charcoal chimney starter, add enough coals so it’s 50% full for a medium fire, 75% full for medium-high, and 100% full for a high fire. Light the coals and distribute them on the coal grate. After they’re covered with white-gray ash, you’re ready to cook.
DIRECT HEAT Spread the coals out into an even pile. INDIRECT HEAT Move the coals to one or both sides of the grill, leaving an empty space below the area of the grate where the food will go. Keep in mind that because of the arrangement of the coals, and the particulars of your grill, you may need a different amount of coal for indirect heat than for direct heat.
GRILL PANS Use your stove or oven temperature settings to guide how you heat your pan. Do keep in mind that a grill pan needs ample time to properly heat up. To test if the pan is hot and ready, try this easy water test: Flick a few drops of water onto the surface of the pan, and if the pan is hot, the water will evaporate in 1 to 2 seconds.
13
AN IMPORTANT DETAIL BEFORE YOUR FOOD HITS
t he he a t Always clean the grates. After the grill is preheated and it’s nice and hot, brush the grates thoroughly with a grill brush (or a balled-up piece of aluminum foil that you can grab with grilling tongs) to scrub off any food debris that may be stuck on. Then carry on.
INTRODUCTION
GRILL WITHOUT A RECIPE
JERK SEASONING
a few burgers, and maybe sliced zucchini and eggplant onto the grates without a recipe—we’ve got you covered. A brush of oil plus a sprinkle of salt and black pepper is great, but for those times when you want a little more flavor, we’ve pulled together some tried-and-true grill builders: rubs, marinades, quick glazes to brush on during cooking, and the best sauces for drizzling and dipping. You can mix and match as desired or improvise and adjust the herbs and spices to suit your palate.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT OIL High-heat cooking requires an oil with a high smoke point, meaning it can hold its own at high temperatures and not start smoking and breaking down. Oils with high smoke points include peanut, refined avocado, sunflower, and grapeseed. Our recipes call for spraying grill grates and grill pans with nonstick spray off heat for safety reasons. Many recipes also direct you to brush the food with oil or spray it with nonstick spray before putting it on the grates.
MAKE A SALSA AS YOU GRILL One of the very best tricks of all is to grill fruits like mango, pineapple, and peaches or nectarines alongside your main course and use them as building blocks in delicious, fresh salsas to accompany your food. We have plenty of recipes for salsas throughout this book, and we encourage
you to experiment with combinations of your favorite fruit, fresh herbs, spices, and citrus juice or vinegar to make salsas that suit your menu and your palate.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT OUR PROGRAM The WW PersonalPoints™ Program brings together three groundbreaking innovations to turbocharge your weight-loss success: a truly individualized plan (no two are the same!) for food and activity, including a customized ZeroPoint™ foods list based on what you love to eat; our newest, cutting-edge Points® algorithm, which boils down a food’s most important nutritional factors into a single number; and a formula that allows you to get more Points for doing healthy things. While losing weight isn’t solely about what you eat, WW realizes the critical role it plays in your success and overall good health. Our recipes encourage a healthier pattern of eating using lots of non-starchy vegetables and ZeroPoint foods to make the most of your Budget. If you have any special dietary needs, be sure to consult your health-care professional, then adapt our recipes so they work for you.
the PersonalPoints Program is the best way to reach your goals—and when you track our recipes in the WW app, it does all the math for you. Curious about a dish’s nutritional profile beyond the Points value? To ensure you have the info you need for personal meal planning, we’ve included nutritional information for each and every recipe, including calories, total fat, saturated fat, sodium, carbs, sugar, fiber, and protein per serving. These numbers are calculated
FACTORS THAT RAISE A PERSONALPOINTS VALUE Added sugars

ZEROING IN ON ZEROPOINT FOODS Forget “zero” equaling “nothing.” On WW, ZeroPoint foods are everything! These are the nutritious foods that have a PersonalPoints value of 0 for you. Consider them the staples that will help set you up for a healthy pattern of eating. And remember: ZeroPoint foods are personalized to your tastes! Meaning your list will probably look different than your friend’s. It all goes back to our science-backed belief that weight-loss plans don’t work when they dictate exactly what to eat. (Think about it: No single approach to eating or weight management could work for everyone.) WW empowers you to home in on the good-for-you choices you’re already making so you can turn them into lifelong habits.

DECODING THIS BOOK
HOW DO WE DETERMINE PERSONALPOINTS RANGES?
Emphasis on the word “code,” because every recipe here comes with its very own QR code. Quickly scan a recipe that piques your interest to go to the WW app, then click Save to add it to your Saved Recipes (which sit in the menu at the top-left corner). When you’re ready to start cooking, you’ll spend less time searching for a tasty meal and more time enjoying it.
You’ll see a blue icon with a range of Points next to most recipes. With the WW Personal Points Program, everyone has their own ZeroPoint™ foods list. (Have we mentioned that no two plans are identical?) This means that the PersonalPoints value for a recipe can vary from person to person. The ranges start with the lowest number of Points a recipe could be, based on its ingredients and the max number of ZeroPoint food categories the recipe includes. For the highest end of the range, we calculate the Points value that the recipe would have if none of the ingredients are on any Zero Point foods list.
Another reason for the QR code: With our program, no two plans are the same—each is as unique as you are. So the same dish may have a different Personal Points™ value for you than it does for someone else. On most of these recipes, you’ll see a range of Points® values. Scan the QR code and you’ll see where that recipe falls for you.
