Napolean’s Everyday Gourmet Grilling
There is a peculiar contagion in the air. While spring is the most common onset of this contagion it can manifest all year round. Men are particularly susceptible, as a result, you may have already noticed the symptoms. Do your menfolk appear bemused, beguiled or besotted? Have you noticed them staring into the backyard or dreamily flipping through hardware catalogues? They are probably infected if so. They just might be suffering from “Barbeque Fever”.
“Barbeque Fever” is extremely contagious. This fever is not harmful, therefore no need for alarm, treatment is available. Cook, outdoors. Not a cave person you say? You have no desire to eat food that tastes like charcoal? Can’t say that I really blame you. Never fear, Chef Ted Reader can help.
Napolean Gourmet Grills teamed up with Chef Ted Reader, all bravely suffering from this same affliction and have risen above their symptoms to create the ultimate barbeque lovers cookbook. With full colour pics and delicious remedies (recipes) for what ails you, this is the only prescription you will need.
There is no cure for “Barbeque Fever” but hey, with remedies like these and the smell of barbeque floating through the air, therefore who would want one?
