Product Description
Brie and apricot jam on a baguette; spinach and goat cheese on a croissant; blue cheese and fresh figs on crusty Italian bread: this is not your mother's grilled cheese sandwich. In Great Grilled Cheese, cheese expert and award-winning cookbook author Laura Werlin presents 50 scrumptious grilled cheese and panini recipes that range from the traditional to the contemporary. In addition to the more inventive combinations, including grilled cheese for dessert, there's always room at the table for the classics: grilled American on white, or apple, ham, and cheddar on sourdough.
Werlin discusses techniques-nonstick versus cast-iron pan, whether to cover during cooking, how to use the ultrapopular panini machine. Maren Caruso's tantalizing photographs perfectly convey the appeal of creamy melted cheese pressed between two slices of crisp, buttery bread. For cheese aficionados, parents whose kids insist on grilled cheese at every meal, and the kid in all of us who craves comfort food, Great Grilled Cheese will satisfy everyone's cheese dreams. AUTHOR BIO: LAURA WERLIN, who won a 2004 James Beard Award for her book The All American Cheese and Wine Book, is a food journalist and cheese expert whose articles have appeared in Saveur, Cooking Light, and Country Living. In addition to having written two books on cheese, The New American Cheese (2000) and The All American Cheese and Wine Book (2003), Werlin writes a biweekly syndicated column on cheese.
MAREN CARUSO is a San Francisco-based photographer who specializes in food photography. Her work has appeared in Wine and Spirits, Chocolatier, and Taste magazines, and in more than ten books, including Grilling and Barbecuing (STC).

 Scrumptious recipes, numerically challenged December 17, 2008
The recipes look wonderful. We haven't tried any yet since we only got the book yesterday. But I can't help but notice, p. 18, that Ms. Werlin really does believe "regular sandwich bread" is only 1/4" thick. Our current loaf of ordinary sliced bread has slices almost exactly 1/2" thick. Maybe her "regular" bread is diet fodder. That would help to explain her trim appearance commented on by an earlier reviewer. At any rate, we look forward to many happy grilled cheese sandwiches, most with (for us) exotic ingredients.

 NOT FOR ME September 23, 2008
I was really looking forward to getting this book since other reviews on the site were good. After receiving it, I'm disappointed. Most of the recipes don't appeal to me (and I admit that I am not a gourmand by any means). The recipes have too many ingredients that I never have on hand and would not want to buy. The combination of ingredients seem strange on a lot of the sandwiches. I'll pass this book along to someone who may appreciate it more. I would not buy it if I had it to do all over again.
 Have eaten nothing else bust grilled cheese for MONTHS!!!!!! September 5, 2008

THE BEST GRILLED CHEESE BOOK EVER!!!!!
The recipes for these sandwiches have simple and short ingrediant lists for each sandwich, all can be found at the store!
Best Ever (in my point of view)
*Classic and easy Ruben, You will need a napkin!
*Summer Plums with Brie and Blue Cheese, Shock the In-Laws.
*California Grill, Jack cheese, salsa and avacado on sourdough, for when you are to tired to cook after work.
*My favorite "never fails to make my dieting sister hate me" sandwich is Roast beef with cheddar and Blue Cheese Butter!!
Highly recomended.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, and with an abundance of tomatoes still available in the backyard, what's better than trying out Laura's melted cheese suggestions? Humm good. Sherry

This is my favorite of my 5 panini recipe books. I bought it when I got my Cuisinart Griddler with Panini Grill. These sandwiches are truly fantastic. Some of the other books have some really wierd combinations and only a few recipes that sound appetizing, but this book is a real winner. These hot sandwiches are very addicting...delicious and so fast and easy to make!
