Final Barbecue of the Year (Probably…)
As evidenced by yesterday’s steak and kidney pie, we seem to have moved almost completely into winter cooking mode already. However, today’s weather was rather good and it seemed like a good day to squeeze in one last barbecue (although we will of course be glad of any opportunity to have another one!).
We haven’t [...]
Birthday Barbecue
It was my Mum’s birthday on Friday (Happy Birthday Mum!) so yesterday we had a barbecue to celebrate. As well as the usual sausages and hamburgers, Fred expertly cooked some garlic and rosemary lamb chops and some chicken which we’d marinated in a sticky barbecue sauce:
We served this with tabbouleh and flatbreads and a [...]

We rather enjoy having themed barbecues rather than just buying a load of assorted dead animals and throwing them onto the fire. In collaboration with some friends, we decided that a Mexican themed barbecue would definitely be worth doing. So we invited them round, did some hunting for appropriate recipes and got started.
For [...]
Barbecued Chicken
We picked up some Kentish strawberries on Saturday, the first ones we’ve had this season. They were ok but not that sweet and by Sunday they seemed past their best. While thinking about what to do with them we remembered Rossinis - Prosecco and pulped strawberries - that we’d had at the Anchor [...]

Last night we planned a quick barbecue in the evening as it was such a nice evening. It turned out not to be that quick due to lighting the fire and waiting for it to be ready and also for choosing chicken thighs, which take a while to cook.
However, when it was [...]
Barbecued Lamb Leg
Because of the the brilliant weather we’ve had lately, we just had to barbecue. Recently a colleague was telling me about a leg of lamb that he had cooked on the barbecue and how good it was, so when Ginger suggested the same thing, it just had to be done.
We had a half leg [...]
Barbecue!
It was 20 degrees on Saturday so we thought it was about time we dusted off the barbecue and put it to work. We spent most of last week deciding what to cook but settled on lamb chops since they’re our favourite thing to eat from the barbecue. We marinated them in parsley, [...]

I never knew Larry the Lamb when he was alive, but even if I had done, I don’t think I would have minded eating him anyway because he was very tasty indeed. Regular readers may remember our good friend Geraldine. Larry was next in line for being cooked on the excellent spit created [...]

Tonight, after a quick wander around Borough market and the Thames Festival we barbecued some scallops and some bass. The scallops were enormous but really tasty and we finally found a use for the shells that have been hanging around for ages.
The bass was simply stuffed with lemon, parsley and garlic and served with [...]

The weather report claimed that we were going to have sun yesterday and it didn’t work out that way, but we had planned to barbecue so we went ahead.
We started with prawns which we’ve done a few times before and we marinated them in oil, lemon, garlic and chilli as we usually do. Then [...]
