Editorial Review:
You've got to hand it to Bobby Flay. He opened his first restaurant, the inventive "new southwestern" Mesa Grill, in 1991--and he's still celebrating the sweet, hot and spicy at that Manhattan outpost, not to mention on his TV shows and in other cookbooks like Boy Gets Grill and Bobby Flay's Bold American Food. Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill Cookbook offers 140-plus recipes for a wide range of new "signature dishes," such as BBQ Duck Filled Blue Corn Pancakes with Habañero Sauce; Chile Rubbed Short Ribs with Creamy Polenta and Cotija Cheese; and Grilled Red Snapper with Tomato-New Mexico Red Chile Sauce. He also includes idiosyncratic takes on old favorites, like Whipped Potatoes with Cilantro Pesto, and desserts including Milk Chocolate-Peanut Butter Crème Brûlée, and Caramel Apple Shortcakes. Even drinks get the Flay treatment.
His food (at least in moderation) is difficult not to like. Cooks will find the recipes eminently doable if they're willing to cull the necessary ingredients--there's a fine ingredients glossary--and put aside a bit of time. This is great "occasion cooking" and should appeal to dyed-in-the-grill Flay fans, as well as those whose curiosity has been tickled by his winning culinary hegemony. --Arthur Boehm

Rating:  - Love it!
I am a big Bobby Flay fan and I absolutely love this cookbook! I would have given it 5 stars but do to having to order special spices, that are not available anywhere near me, I could only give it 4. I find almost all of his recipes pretty simple and soooo delicious!
Rating: - Fantastic!
I watched Bobby Flay's biography on television and his cooking seemed so interesting I thought I would purchase one of his books and and give it a try.
First, the recipes are easy to follow - though several steps are required during preparation the end result is well worth the effort. The results are fantastic. Before viewing his biography my mind set was that most of the food would be too spicy. Not so. The recipes include some heat but it seems the heat is nicely complimented ... Read More
Rating: - Great Buy
I purchased this book after I had a chance to experience dinner at Mesa Grill, I have prepared several items from the book and they taste great, very easy to follow directions, I look forward to all the other things in the book, I highly reccommend this book to anyone that is a fan of Bobby Flay or if you just like southwestern style food.
Rating: - Great flavors with restaurant quality results
This is one of my new favorites. The results have been extremely good. Some recipes are relatively fast to make while the super tasty duck taco recipe involves making 3 different sauces. However, once some of the sauces are made, they can be frozen and used in other recipes shortening the cooking time. Some of the green sauces work really well on salads. The ingredients are authentic and readily available in my home town of Houston. The use of blue cornmeal in pancakes give a great text and flavor ... Read More
Rating: - Great food simplified!
As usual Bobby presents each recipe in an easy to understand format. I think the greatest testament to his ability is to create food that has such great flavor from a simple list of indgredients. The veal chop with the ancho-maple-horseradish glaze is a gift from heaven. His ancho maple glazed turkey was a smash this thanksgiving. There are too many great recipes from this book to mention. He continually provides great recipes with each book and I look forward to owning his next installment. His food ... Read More
