How to Grill Everything!

Grill Masters Fire it Up! the 2nd book in the series by Alison Miksch (also published by Chronicle) will be available in the fall of 2010 with more than 500 recipes 150 color photos!!

One of the most comprehensive grill books - this book is organized by ingredients… A primer on handling a wide range of unusual ingredients:

Including Mollusks like Octopus, Lobster, Conch and Squid.

Vegetables and fruit like Baby Bok Choy, Broccolini, Clementines, Leeks, and Edamame

Working with animals like:
Sheep, Pigs, Bison, Venison, Squab and other game birds.

"The story behind the head shot of the pig is they were being raised organically by a small local farmer and very feisty, curious creatures. I had to be placed inside a portable cage, inside the pig pen to be able to shoot them. They were nibbling, poking, and generally a rowdy crew to try to get a decent shot. Although you'd never know it from the soft look on this guy smelling the apple."

And recipes for:
Pulled Pork made from a Fire-Braised Barbecued Pork Shoulder

Whole Grilled Sea Bass In Wasabi Crust
Sage-Brined Roast Turkey Stuffed with Chestnuts and Sausages

Steel Worker portraits by Curtis Johnson

These guys work in a steel yard along the Mississippi river in Minneapolis. Their job is to transport, cut apart large girders, slabs and plates of scrap steel and load it onto rail cars for reprocessing. They are a great group of guys that work their asses off everyday.It is dirty, sweaty work. Not for the meek or those afraid to get covered in grease, grim and filth.

SISTERS by Steve Bonini

Steve recently worked on a personal project photographing some of the regional members of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence in Portland Oregon.
Steve was given the OK to visit the once monthly Bingo session held by the Sisters as a fund raiser. He set up his lighting and a simple seamless background. Then the fun began! About 20 Sisters "stepped in the studio" and struck a pose. Quite the festive group!Steve tells us that this may continue as an ongoing project as there are many more Sisters who want their picture taken. And as one told him, "Sisters LOVE to have their picture taken!"
