You probably have heard of the phrase "Variety's the very spice of life and that gives it all its flavor". There are numerous cuisines around the world and so many ways to cook with a single ingredient. A simple recipe on its own has no soul, however; it is the artistry of a cook that pours life into it. A distinctive style, the addition of herbs, and the choice of technique add a wonderful twist to the ultimate flavor of the food. For instance, smoking the food adds a wonderful earthy and woody flavor. Whether you are working with vegetables or meat, smoking adds another dimension.

The source of the smoke determines the taste and flavor. Whether you use plant material or wood pellets, you are bound to have a wonderful gastronomic experience. In this book, we discuss all the benefits of the Wood Pellet Smoker-Grill and why it may be perfect for you. One of the biggest reasons why smoking food is beneficial for you is that smoke is antimicrobial and antioxidant. While it may not preserve food (it does not penetrate the food enough to do this), the smoking process may be combined with salt-curing or drying. The food that you cook with this smoking process is not only flavorful but also healthy.

In this Traeger cookbook, we have included poultry, meat, pork, seafood, and vegetarian recipes that are easy to cook.
