Grilled Vegetables

I expected that there were at least 8 people would come to grilling night, but we ended to be 4 as some have cancelled at the last minute. Basically, I prepared at least 1kg of vegetables for grilling. I should have made a smaller quantity. Sometimes, I always wonder if it is better to make more than less or to make less than more. I would usually end up with the first choice.

Vegetables are still selling at a reasonable price, I'm profiting the remaining of the vegetable season to do some grilled vegetables. I adapted the recipe from The Illustrated Kitchen Bible.
