Recipe News: 5 Idaho chefs offer recipes for your grill
Let the grilling begin. I find that most chefs who spend their time in the kitchen at work, love their outdoor grills at home. So, we asked five area chefs to give us their favorite way to grill. We have a mix of rubs and sauces, spicy and rich, salmon and lamb, and surely at least one of these recipes will appeal to you.
Recipe News: Meat experts offer tips and recipes for grilling
While complex flavors and multi-layered seasonings line the spice section of supermarket shelves, most grilling enthusiasts will agree, simple is the way to go.
Mary Kay Monger, a member of the Routt County Cattlewomen, likes to grill beef with just salt and pepper. Billy Hamil, owner of Steamboat Meat & Seafood Co., recommends a simple soy and Worcestershire sauce marinade for bias-cut flank steak. And Cattlewoman Jo Stanko is an advocate of dry rubs with few ingredients.
“Some people like marinades. We don’t, we’re purists over at my house,” Stanko said, adding that there’s nothing especially wrong with meat marinades.
Recipe News: Cheap grills: Economical but tasty recipes for Memorial Day
Rising food prices have you in a bind for your Memorial Day bash? You might have been able to afford to grill rib-eyes for 12 last year, but this year it may be a different matter.
No need to feel embarrassed: There are plenty of ways to get frugality into your grilling without making your guests feel you've put them on an austerity diet. Truth is, many economical cuts of meat are actually better served by grilling than their more expensive counterparts.
Chicken thighs, for example, remain juicier over the flame than do chicken breasts (especially the pricier boneless, skinless breasts), and the fuller-flavored thighs can stand up to assertive rubs and seasonings.
When it comes to beef, flank steak or skirt steak has more flavor than filet mignon or some of the other luxury cuts. The cheaper cuts of beef are naturals for marinating, too.
With Memorial Day just around the corner, the summer grilling season is upon us and I can't wait!We love to grill all kinds of vegetables, fish, meats, tofu, potatoes, corn...even fruit! Grilling is easy, fun, and cuts clean-up time.
However, grilling also presents a health risk because carcinogenic compounds can form when meat is cooked at high temperatures over direct heat sources. (Grilling vegetables or other foods does not present this danger.)
You can dramatically reduce the formation of these compounds by trimming fat from meat, marinating, and grilling at lower temperatures. (Please see our Guide to Grilling Meats for more information. )
Here are some great recipes for your healthy summer cookouts. Each recipe also includes a complete nutritional analysis, which you can save to your pantry for future reference.

Great pizza on the grill requires some serious speed.
And while that makes grilled pizza an excellent weeknight dinner candidate in summer, it also means you need to pay more attention to prep than you normally might. So here's what you need to know.
f you haven't done it already, it's time to fire up your grill, burn off last year's grunge and dust off your favorite recipes for some outdoor eating. And while you're at it, you might think of creating a few new recipes, and sending them to a grilling contest. One of those contests (see details below) is hosted by this very column.
If your idea of a thrill is a NASCAR tailgate party with celebrity chefs Mario Batali and Rachael Ray (and whose isn't?), enter the "Think You Can Grill Like Mario?" online contest at www.mariobatali.com. Batali is an Iron Chef, award-winning restaurateur and author of numerous books, including the new "Italian Grill" (Ecco, 2008). The contest ends June 30.
Betterrecipes.com is also sponsoring a grilling contest, and the winner will get $500 — not quite a picnic with Ray, but not too shabby. Go to the Web site and check out the rules. The contest ends May 31.
Some alternatives to using sea scallops can be monk fish cubes, catfish nuggets, shrimp, tuna or shark. Always remember size does matter, the size of the cube will determine the cooking time of the kebab. Always soak your skewers or tooth picks in cold water for about 30 minutes to avoid burning while grilling.
Recipe News: Recipes oven-barbecued brisket and stuffed hamburgers
It's not unusual to hear a kid say that all her dad knows how to cook is steak on the grill. That's because a lot of men really like grilling, and many more really like its end result.
But even the most enthusiastic of grillers may balk at spending 8 to 12 hours tending a fire to cook the Holy Grail of the world of meat: A whole barbecued brisket.
For Father's Day, consider giving Dad the gift of this savory dish but going by way of the oven.
Using this technique, the constant temperature of 275 F, which allows the tough connective tissues of the brisket to gently dissolve, results in ultra-tender meat. Much less attention is needed than with traditional methods.

Recipe News: Grilled Beef Recipes, From Cattle Country
As a matter of fact -- cows outnumber people there by more than two-to-one!
So, it's no surprise that Kansans take their beef seriously.
And a man who knows his beef is Tim Love, chef and owner of the Lonesome Dove Western Bistro in Fort Worth, Texas. -- hardly a slouch when it comes to its beef, either!
Love was in Greensburg, Kan. Friday to be part of The Early Show's weeklong series, "Tragedy to Triumph: Greensburg Rising," as the town marked the one-year anniversary of a twister that pretty much wiped it off the map. But its residents are rebuilding.
Love grilled up some steaks and burgers, along with some other meats, and talked about ways to pick, prepare and grill meat for the grill. He discussed three preparations: a simple salt and pepper coating that's then topped with a sauce, brining, and rubbing.
