 Met all my needs and more!, 2006-09-21
I didn't expect much from this book -- so it was even more enjoyable to realize that the book not only was full of recipes geared for my electric grill BUT included nutritional information for most of the elements I have to watch -- sugar content, carbs, protein, calories, fat. I heartily recommend this for people who are trying to eat healthy but find most cookbooks geared only to carbs or only to fat or only to calories, etc, who have electric grills (like the George Foreman) or who are looking for an economical cookbook.

 Not what I hoped it would be, 2005-12-17
I love my new Cuisinart Griddler but, frankly, the instructions that came with it were pretty skimpy. So I went looking for a good cookbook that would explain how best to prepare fresh, healthy, delicious dishes using this marvelous appliance. `Hot Off the Grill' looked like just the thing: the focus appeared to be on HEALTHY eating, it had full nutritional info for each recipe, and the few pages I saw in the online preview (mostly for grilled veggies) looked interesting, with useful tips for cooking techniques.
Sadly, it proved not to be what I need or want. Here's why...
TOO MANY PROCESSED FOODS: Nearly every recipe calls for prepackaged and processed ingredients rather than for the fresh (and tastier) originals, with dishes such as pizza burgers made with catsup, "Italian" chicken made with fat-free Italian dressing, plus too many other recipes using onion flakes, dried parsley or basil, canned mushrooms, Bacon Bits, etc.).
TOO MUCH EMPHASIS ON BRAND NAME: The book reads like it was produced by the marketing department for Kraft/General Foods. Lund's list of preferred ingredients/brands in her introduction is more than enough to give the novice cook an idea of what to buy. Those endless references to Kraft or Oscar Mayer in so many of the recipes are pointless unless there's a commercial tie-in. Is there?
TOO MANY "HAPPY HOMEMAKER" RECIPES: A majority of the recipes look like they came from the back of a box of something or from a 1960s ladies magazine...with cutesy names and ersatz flavors: Grande Fish Fillets (fish in a mix of Catalina dressing, chili powder, dried parsley, and Ritz cracker crumbs) and Caribbean Ham Salad Sandwiches (processed ham, raisins, coconut, carrots, mayonnaise and cheddar cheese), Even those recipes that include fresh ingredients among the processed foods (and yes, there are many that do) seem bland and unimaginative to someone (me) who loves cookbooks by Rosso and Lukins and reads Cooking Light magazine cover to cover.

 Pretty good, not great, 2005-09-21
There is not as much variety in the recipes in this book as I would have hoped. The ones that are there are, however, very good.

HAUGHT!!, 2005-08-20
There exist no words to accurately describe the decadence of this low-calorie, common-folk, butter-flavoured-aerosol-grease-sprayed haute-cuisine. Do yourself and your loved ones a favour... memorize this entire book and never, NEVER stray from its pages of wisdom. If God himself were to write an instruction manual to life, this book would be plagiarised. If you do not understand English, learn it immediately so you too can find sanctuary between the covers of this masterpiece. Ms. JoAnna M. Lund is a most remarkable visionary; her voluptuous use of Kraft singles is surpassed only by the wanton references to cultural insensitivity in her recipe titles. The only problem with this magna carta of the culinary world is that it does not come in a miniature form with which I could travel the world, feeling comforted in its oasis of sheer, unadulterated brilliance.

A "comfort food" cookbook for the George Foreman Grill, 2005-06-19
We bought my mother a George Foreman grill for Mother's Day, and she wanted a cookbook too, but Mom's cooking style is best described as "All American comfort food". The available cookbooks by Mr. Foreman and others had too many recipes for Moroccan or Cajun or Tex-Mex meals using condiments that aren't in her pantry. Hot Off The Grill came up when I did a search on "George Foreman Grills" and when I read the names of some of the recipes, I knew that this was the book Mom was looking for! So far she has made some of the burgers and grilled vegetables and they taste great, and she is very happy with the grill and this cookbook. And I am going to buy a copy for myself too ....
