SIZZLING SUMMER RECIPES
Thinking
about
alfresco dining with
the pleasure of
inviting friends and
family round for a
barbeque?
What
could
be
more
perfect?
The
tantalising thought
of
food
being
cooked in the open
air, with savoury
aromas
drifting
across
a balmy
breeze, sends me
straight to the shed
to brush down the
barbeque and set up
the garden furniture (it inevitably rains, but we’ll pretend it doesn’t!).

Fancy a barbie with a difference?
We can all baste a burger, grill a gammon or
even chop a chicken for the barbeque, but
how about something different to entertain
your guests this summer?
I’ve been experimenting with new recipes and
have found a few unusual ideas to make your
guests smile. (Whatever the weather!)
We enjoyed trying them and barbeques will
never be the same again! Why not give these
recipes a try…

Here’s one to get the boys cooking! Ask any man:
“Who wants to insert a half-drunk beer into the bottom of a chicken?”
Stand back for the stampede…
This is a great way to cook a chicken! As the liquid evaporates inside the chicken, the flesh
is kept wonderfully moist; while the outside dry-roasts and crisps the skin perfectly. Rub olive
oil, salt and pepper with some fresh thyme onto the skin to bring out the flavour.
