ITL124: The Andy Andrews Guide to Cooking

On this week’s episode, I talk about my passion for cooking outdoors, reveal my secret recipe for the best grilled vegetables ever, and discuss why I like to put things that I actually use into the stories in my books.   I am kind of a foodie. I enjoy making and eating great food. I don’t know if it’s just a southern thing, but we seem to devise events around food. I really like cooking outside.   I’m a grill guy, and I love the charcoal taste. I come from a long line of “grill people.” My dad thought he was good, but he burned everything. All you people who have gas grills. Wrong! You’re cooking with heat and there is nothing to give your food taste.   For years I have put things in my books that I like or use. In The Noticer Returns, Jones is teaching how to start a business, and one of the guys (Baker Larson) starts cooking with a Kamado Joe. We cook on them at least three times a week. We do pizza, fish, steak, and wild game. One of our absolute favorites is cooking vegetables.   Secret Recipe: We will cut up whatever vegetables we have and cover them with an Italian dressing to soak for a little while. We’ll then put the vegetables in a basket that goes in our Kamado Joe, and smoke them at about 350 degrees.   Kamado Joe Giveaway: Be sure to watch your email for our announcement!
