Description: Learn how to make amazingly delicious smash burgers—and other smashed and pressed sandwiches, wraps, burritos, and more—from Adam and Brett Walton, the outdoor-griddle gurus.

Outdoor-griddle cooking, whether on a dedicated “flattop” griddle station or simply on a cast-iron or steel griddle pan placed over a hot grill, is the biggest news in outdoor cooking in a long time, and the smash burger is everyone’s favorite thing to cook on such a device. The YouTube stars of the outdoor griddle, the Walton twins—known as the Waltwins—serve up here the definitive guide to smash burgers in 60 recipes that are both easy to master for flattop rookies and full of brand-new ideas for griddling vets.

You will find the best versions of cheeseburgers and beef burgers you’ve ever imagined, such as the Rocky Mountain Smash Burger and the Mushroom and Swiss Smash Burger, along with things like the Chicken Cordon Bleu Smash, Smashed Black Bean Veggie Burgers, and Fish Sandwiches a la Smash. You’ll even find delicious smashed sandwiches you can wake up to for breakfast, and some sweet dessert smashes, like Smashed S’Mores, for the end of the day. Other recipes include: 
 
  • Smashed Pastrami Melts
  • Pressed Cubano Sandwiches
  • Asian Sweet and Soy Smash Burgers
  • California Smash Burgers
  • Smashed Pub Sliders
  • Classic Italian Grilled Panini
  • The Ultimate Gourmet Grilled Cheese
  • Chicken Caesar Wraps

This is a delectably fun, casual, and crazy-good cookbook you can use all day long and all year ’round.

My Thoughts: Who does not love a good smashed burger with those delicious crispy edges. I love them and wished that I could make them at home too. This cookbook, teaches you how to smash burgers at home. It includes four different chapters with easy to follow instructions. It is also a fun design.

As I mentioned, the recipe instructions are easy to follow. The recipes include tips. They also include fun descriptions for each burger, which is nice but I would have preferred pictures. When I am looking at a cookbook for recipes, I like to look at the pictures first and then if it looks good then I like to read the recipe. This book had some pictures, but not a lot. Another thing I wished that it had was nutrition. Burgers can vary wildly depending on the toppings, so it would be nice to have some nutrition to review.

Rating: 3 out of 5

Many thanks to Quarto Publishing Group – Harvard Common Press, Harvard Common Press and Netgalley for this review copy. This is my honest opinion.
