Here in the States we are entering the sultry season of outdoor parties. Summer begs for grilling and cocktails (or what I love to do during summer - air conditioning, cocktails and complaining about the heat). Today, I have two books that will guide you through summer and year-round entertaining with grilling inspiration and cocktail perfection.



Food52 Any Night Grilling: 60 Ways to Fire Up Dinner (and More) by Paula Disbrowe is the latest offering from our friends at Food52. (Food52 Genius Desserts will be out in September!) Here, Paula Disbrowe coaches us through the fundamentals of cooking over fire so the simple pleasure of a freshly grilled meal can be enjoyed any night of the week.

These recipes won't break the bank and won't require an emergency run to the liquor store.
