Grill Time!

With clear techniques and bold, flexible recipes, this is grilling built for real life.”—J. Kenji Lopez-Alt, author of The Wok and The Food Lab“Mayonnaise to keep food from sticking to the grill? Genius.

And no grilled desserts—that’s how you know this book is the truth. The grill book we actually needed: real technique, real flavor, and backyard soul.”—Joshua McFadden, author of Six Seasons and Six Seasons of Pasta“Any excuse to get us cooking outdoors more I can get behind.

He brilliantly shows what a joy grilling brings to all.”—Elizabeth Poett, author of The Ranch Table“If you think grilling is just for meat, this book will open your eyes—and your appetite. Grilling isn’t just for meat lovers. It’s about fire, flavor, and the simple joy of transforming vegetables into something unforgettable. Noah shows how vegetables can shine on the grill with bold, beautiful flavors in every bite.”—Catherine McCord, Weelicious“Grill Time! is more than a cookbook—it’s a celebration of love, family, and the kind of food that brings people closer.
