This edition in the Hamlyn series of books follows the now familiar pattern offering clearly explained recipes, one to a page with a colour photograph of the dish on the facing page, in a clear and concise form. There is a brief introduction which covers the different methods of barbecuing and the equipment. The book is divided into the following sections: taste tempters; steak & ribs; kebabs, burgers and hot dogs; seafood; vegetarian dishes; salads, sauces and marinades; sweet treats; the book includes an index.

As usual the range, creativity and interest of the recipes is good, I especially like some of those under the vegetarian section such as mustard & thyme sweet potatoes, potato skins & sour cream dip, mushroom burgers with onion jam, and there are similarly tempting dishes to be found in all sections.

Well worth the small outlay.… (plus d'informations)
