Barbecued Trout with Broad Beans, Peas and New Potatoes
We’ve been so busy lately that although we have been doing some cooking, we haven’t found the time to blog about it. What we have been cooking has mostly been quick and easy and not all that interesting which makes things difficult to write about. I’d completely forgotten about this until I found [...]
Read More..>>Barbecued Steak Wraps
After not barbecuing very much so far this year, we seem to have gone a long way to rectifying things this weekend. The first weekend that arrives after a holiday is always a busy one and we didn’t have much time to think about what we were going to eat, steak on the barbecue [...]
Read More..>>World Cup Cuisine – The Highlights
So, apart from cheating today and buying beer and cheese to represent Holland, we did a pretty good job of exploring some new cuisnes and finding some new favourite dishes.
We started with South Africa and cooked every Saffer’s favourite, the milk tart. I ate a lot of this while I was there but have [...]
Barbecued Sausages
We had lots of errands to run today and, when we were finally finished, we realised we hadn’t thought much about dinner. We’d discussed going out to eat but when it came to it, we were too hot and tired so decided to head home and barbecue something instead.
Earlier this morning, I popped into [...]
Barbecued Rose Veal with Salmoriglio
We haven’t done nearly enough barbecuing this year so, as we had a little more time than normal tonight, Stephen rolled out the Weber and got busy with some veal chops.
While we were away our herbs flourished and we’re now more than a little over-run with tasty, green stuff. This Valentine Warner recipe was [...]
World Cup Cuisine – USA Burgers and Pecan Pie
So, onto the USA, which is of course well known for burgers, amongst other things. As it was such a lovely day, we continued the barbecue theme. My sister and her husband came round to visit and brought my little niece along, who ran around a lot and tired everyone out, but it [...]

This is a traditional style of barbecue which originated from the gauchos (i.e. cowboys) in southern Brazil – meat on long skewers cooked over a barbecue pit and then sliced off with a knife. Not having a barbecue pit close at hand, we made do with a normal barbecue. Also not having a [...]
Read More..>>World Cup Cuisine – Argentinian Steak with Chimichurri Sauce
When thinking of what to cook for Argentina, we automatically thought of this dish. Having cooked it before though, we felt that maybe we should be a little more creative and try something else, but we remembered it having been particularly tasty and were keen to eat it again. As it turned out, [...]
Read More..>>Beef and Stilton Burgers
Knowing I would be away for most of the weekend, I planned ahead and organised tonight’s dinner well in advance. I made the mistake of checking (and believing) the weather forecast in advance though and when I saw sun, I planned for a barbecue. By the time I got home this evening, it [...]
Read More..>>Mexican Barbecued Ribs
I bought these pork ribs earlier in the week with a vague idea of what I was going to do with them but, having seen the weather report, Stephen suggested keeping them until tonight and barbecuing them. We don’t eat ribs often so I wasn’t really sure what to do with them, a quick [...]
