BBQ For All

For barbecue supremo and teacher Marcus Bawdon, outdoor cooking should always be tempting and exciting, whatever your food choices. And it doesn't always have to be about huge slabs of meat! This book will inspire you to pull together feasts that are guaranteed to wow your friends and family every time, regardless of their dietary preferences or requirements. A wonderful variety of foods can be cooked over hot coals and open fire and they will often taste all the better for it. The art of barbecue has really taken off around the globe, and Marcus has travelled widely to experience many unusual and exciting methods first-hand - from South America to Japan, Italy to India. Here he takes his inspiration from a wealth of culinary influences to demonstrate just how far cooking with fire has come and how flavoursome and exciting it can be. All too often a standard spread lacks imagination, and there is a pretty poor choice of foods for anyone with a specific dietary need - ready-made veggie burgers or jacket potato anyone? Here the doors of the author's own UK BBQ School have been thrown wide open so you can see in glorious technicolour in his own stunning photographs what is possible, his aim to encourage you to take giant leaps forward on your own barbecue at home. Included are recipes for meat and seafood, as well as vegetarian and vegan recipes and options. Also shared is advice on buying (or building) the right barbecue, tips on cooking technique, and guidance on honing your skills for better, more consistent results. BBQ is a real journey, and there is no better teacher than Marcus.
