These days, there is a great deal more to a barbecue than the smoky chops and charred sausages with white bread and tomato sauce of many a childhood picnic. As barbecue equipment itself has become increasingly sophisticated, so too has the range of possibilities for delicious barbecue meals. This superb new cookbook from The Australian Women's Weekly Test Kitchen combines the best of both worlds. Drawing on the heritage of the simple traditional barbecue as well as more recent international influences, GREAT BARBECUE FOOD is the definitive collection of recipes for inspiring barbecues and successful outdoor entertaining. You can throw another prawn on the barbie, of course, but now you can also throw marinated steaks, finger-licking spare ribs, pesto fish kebabs, sweet chilli chicken drumsticks, tandoori lamb and a tantalising array of vegetables. Simple, healthy, quick and perfectly suited to a relaxed style of family eating and entertaining - barbecue food has come of age. From appetising starters to all the extras - marinades, sauces, dips, salads, breads and even something sweet - GREAT BARBECUE FOOD will have you abandoning your kitchen for the great outdoors, whether you're cooking over hot coals or on the latest state-of-the-art gas model. And every recipe in GREAT BARBECUE FOOD has been triple-tested by The Australian Women's Weekly Test Kitchen to guarantee your success, first time, every time.
