Barbecue Pizza Second Attempt
After last week’s barbecue pizza attempt which was really tastybut not perfect, we decided to try again to see if we could perfect it. We wanted the fire hotter this time, to try to get it to cook more quickly and blister the edges of the base a bit. The fire was hotter, but still […]

Given the success of Friday’s barbecued lamb kebabs, we tried a similar thing today with chicken. We still have loads of oregano, so used that again, with a little oil, garlic, lemon juice and salt and pepper. The weather taunted us a little, changing from bright sunshine to cloudy and back and by the time […]

We’ve been talking about cooking pizza on the barbecue this for what seems like forever and yesterday we finally got around to it. We don’t have the space for a pizza oven in our garden and, after some lengthy research, it would appear that barbecuing pizza is the next best thing. The charcoal can be […]
Read More..>>Lamb Kebabs
This was another meal inspired by the herbs growing outside. The oregano, like the sage, is threatening to burst out of it’s pot at any moment so we used some up with these lamb kebabs. The diced leg was marinated for a couple of hours in the oregano, along with some garlic, lemon juice, salt […]
Read More..>>Pulled Pork
This has been on our list of barbecue plans for quite a while now. We did some research, invited some friends round, bought a pork shoulder and got to work. Pulled pork is traditional in some southern American states and the idea is that it is a slow-cooked pork shoulder that becomes so tender during […]

We discussed a variety of options when deciding on something particularly English to cook as a St George’s day celebration. Roast beef is always pretty high on the list in these sorts of situations, and as the weather was forecast to be good, we decided to cook it on the barbecue instead of doing a […]
Read More..>>Burgers on the Barbecue
Today marks the first day in our quest for the perfect burger. This version included anchovies and capers along with some grated onion, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper and some chopped parsley. They were seasoned just right and the meat (miced chuck steak) was tasty and had a great texture but the anchovies over-powered slightly. […]
Read More..>>Barbecued Lamb with Tzatziki, Salad and Pita Bread
After yesterday’s barbecue, we still had most of a barbecued leg of lamb left over. It was Kerri’s suggestion to slice it up and put it into pita bread with some tzatziki and salad, and a very good suggestion it was. The lamb had retained its barbecued smokiness, and went very well with the garlicky […]
Read More..>>Asparagus and Barbecued Lamb
Looking back, our first barbecue of last year was on 26 April so we’ve beat that by a week. Had we been more organised, I think we could have managed one even earlier this year but as it was, today’s weather was perfect. Like last year, we’ve spen many hours deliberating what out first barbecued […]

A short while ago when visiting my sister, we wandered into a butcher that stocked a lot of South African produce. We bought a wheel of boerewors, which is brilliant on a barbecue (or braai in South African terminology). However, here in England winter is of course on the way and we ended up putting […]
