Table of ContentsIntroductionMeat Poultry Fish Vegetarian Salads Side Dishes Salsas and dips Index Acknowledgements ExtractIntroductionThere"s nothing quite like a barbecue. The preparation – the anticipation of waiting for the coals to heat up – the mouth–watering smells – and the delicious, woody flavour of freshly cooked food make this a popular meal option for warm summer days. However, advances in barbecue technology and the rather unreliable nature of the British summer have meant that barbecuing is no longer confined to those few short weeks when the sun makes an appearance. Indeed, just the thought of a barbecue can lift the spirits and create an instant holiday atmosphere so, as long as you have a bit of shelter to do the actual cooking, you can barbecue whatever the weather.Be preparedMany people have a barbecue tucked away in a corner of their garden and often it will remain hidden under a cover from one year to the next. It can sometimes seem like a bit of an effort to clean it off and light it up, especially if you are planning an impromptu gathering. If you get used to using the barbecue all year round and make a point of cleaning the grill and bowl after each use then it will always be ready to fire up at a moment"s notice. It is also a good idea to keep a ready supply of charcoal, matches. skewers etc at home as it is not always possible to get hold of barbecue equipment out of season. That way, if you have the urge to barbecue, or there is a spell of hot weather later on in the year, you can make the most of it!Recipe for successOver the following pages you will discover recipes for all tastes and occasions, as well as marinades, dips and sauces to accompany them.
