In 25 ESSENTIALS: Techniques for Planking, one of the latest installments of the 25 Essentials series, Karen Adler and Judith Fertig demystify the art of cooking with a wood plank, which is an easy way to infuse food with the beguiling flavor of cedar, alder, and other plank woods smoke. In addition to helping readers select, prepare, and use a plank, this handy guidebook showcases 25 basic planking techniques and illustrates each with an easy recipe and gorgeous color photo. If the weather isn't quite right for firing up the grill in the backyard, instructions for how to plank in an oven with thicker metal-reinforced planks make this method a feasible year-round cooking option. Prosciutto-Wrapped Planked Sea Scallops with Fresh Herb Aioli, Cedar-Planked Char with Wood-Grilled Onions, and Pepper Jack-Stuffed Chicken Breasts with Chipotle-Bacon Slather demonstrate how tasty and versatile plank cooking can be.
