Simple, user-friendly instructions make for easy preparation of an Asian-and Caribbean-influenced grilled chicken with toasted chilies, coconut milk, lime and crushed peanuts. There are also recipes for Peking duck and pizzas--all cooked over the coals. Even the all-American burger gets a global makeover with a pressed, Cuban-style rendition, Flay's fusion of "a big, fat burger oozing melted cheese and pickles" and "a big, fat Cuban sandwich oozing melted cheese and pickles."
