Game Changer: 101 Grilling Recipes

Well, this week's Minimalist is another show stopping 101 column: 101 Fast Recipes for Grilling. The list is full of winners; can't wait to cook a few of these this summer. It's too early to pick a favorite, but I'll leave you with this:

46. Not so easy, but so impressive: Stuff squid bodies with chopped chorizo (optional), garlic-toasted bread crumbs, lemon zest and parsley. Close with toothpicks. Char quickly over a very hot fire.

Oh, and the video is SUPER kooky.

The Manic Minimalist: 101 Simple Salads

Today's Minimalist column is another one of Bittman's lists of 101 one sentence recipes--this time with the theme of summer salads. They range from the standard to the completely zany (carrots, blueberries and pine nuts, anyone?) across a wide range of categories, including seafood, meat, noodles, grains, vegetarian, and "mostly vegan." There's even some dressing recipes. If you can't find at least a handful of things you want to eat on this list, there's something wrong with you. Go check it out.

Also, if you fancy this kind of super short recipe thing, check out Bittman's latest book, Kitchen Express, a collection of these seasonal recipes from the Times.
