From the Inside Flap
Cooking/Barbecue and Grilling

When you're hungry for a satis-fying meal, nothing beats a good burger. Now, with this terrific little cookbook, you get a whole year's worth of tasty burger choices—one for every week.

Inspired by flavors from across America and around the world, author Sally Samp-son gives you a wide range of deliciously different burger options. You'll find tra-ditional favorites here, such as Classic Burgers with Homemade Ketchup and Caramelized Onions. But most of the burgers are out of the ordinary—and out of this world.

Looking for something spicy? Try Jerk Burgers or Spicy Chipotle Turkey Burgers. Love Asian flavors? You'll find Curried Chicken Burgers with Chutney Mayonnaise and Asian Beef Burgers with Ginger and Cilantro, among other standouts. What about a healthier burger? No problem—check out choices like Dijon Tuna Burgers and Caramelized Onion and Chickpea Burgers. And if you're in the mood for a burger that's outrageously delicious, try one of Sampson's "stuffed" burgers, such as Burgers with Goat Cheese and Herbes de Provence or Beef Burgers with Monterey Jack, Chiles, Bacon, and Sour Cream.

Illustrated with gorgeous color photographs and featuring savvy tips on burger grilling and stovetop cooking, Recipe of the Week: Burgers offers an ever-changing calendar of burger delights. It's just what you need for week after week of delectable dinners and crowd-pleasing cookouts.
