Recipe News: Recipes for grilling seasonings

While there are countless seasonings and blends that can be added to grilled food, there are just four main ways of applying them, write Andrew Schloss and David Joachim in their recent book, "Mastering the Grill." They are:
- Rubs, which add flavor to the outside of food by applying a dry seasoning mixture to the surface just before cooking

- Brines, which soak the food in a blend of salt, water and seasoning (the salt draws the flavor and moisture into the food).

- Marinades, which act like a brine but use acid (such as vinegar or citrus juice) in place of the salt.

- Injections, which saturate a food with flavoring from the inside.

Here are a few recipes to add some flavor to your grilling.
