Bobby Flay's Grill It! - Three Part Series

He discovered his passion for food at the ripe age of 17, after taking a job as cook at the famous New York eatery Joe Allen’s. Since then, the versatile Flay attended The French Culinary Institute, has written nine critically-acclaimed cookbooks, opened several successful restaurants, and has become an in-demand celebrity chef on the likes of Throwdown!, Iron Chef America, Boy Meets Grill and more.

Now Flay has teamed up with Sur La Table to challenge the way we think about grilling. Although grilling remains a popular pastime, the secrets to getting professional-quality results remain a mystery for some, while more confident grillers just want new and exciting ideas for meals on the grill.

In this intensive grilling workshop you’ll:

• Transform your favorite fresh, seasonal ingredients into delicious and inventive meals hot off the grill
• Expand your grilling repertoire beyond burgers to include meats, fish, shellfish, vegetables—even dessert
• Learn essential grilling techniques like knowing when your grill reaches the right temperature, cooking with direct and indirect heat, and judging when your grilled foods are perfectly cooked
• Enhance the flavor of fresh ingredients with unique marinades, sauces, vinaigrettes, and rubs
• Learn to perfectly cook classic grilling favorites, like cheeseburgers, filet mignon, shrimp, scallops, and farm-fresh corn
• Discover new grilling techniques and essential tools to let you enjoy great grilled flavors year-round
• Uncover the secrets to getting professional-quality results on the grill every time
• And more!

Select locations will even offer this series outdoors, weather permitting.

Bonus: Each student receives a free autographed copy of Grill It! by Bobby Flay.
