Marvellously messy BBQ. It seems to me that there are only a few good eating opportunities in Kingston, but The Grey Horse, a Smok’d BBQ Pub, is a cut above, and well worth a look. The Grey Horse has all the elements of a traditional pub but with a contemporary twist. It has great cocktails…

How to Grill Vegetables by Steven Raichlen will support our various BBQ needs in vibrant fashion. Steven Raichlen is the author of the New York…
Quality and variety Oh, deep joy! Lockdown will soon be a nasty memory, and summer is just around the corner. I will celebrate the ability to go out by staying in. At home, but we will be with plenty of people who have come out to enjoy a rather classy BBQ thanks to 44 Foods!…
Heck pride themselves on their farmers’ market quality sausages and burgers, and you don’t have to live near a farmer’s market to enjoy them (and even if you did, you probably wouldn’t be able to visit one anyway!). In fact you don’t even have to leave home to get your hands on their products, as…

We have just had a little hint of summer and it looks like it’s time to dust off the BBQ. With lockdown it’s probable that we will spend more time grilling for our isolated family unit, so it’s important that we have the opportunity to ring the changes and keep everybody happy. That’s where Heck…

Now, just wait – I know you’ll likely ignore this book. ‘Campfire Cuisine’ – you probably think that’s a book for rugged sorts: thick socks, hiking boots, woolly hats with solar cells, and that’s not you. But how about ‘Gourmet Recipes’? Well, that’s bound to be yoghurt, free-range vegetables and knitted meat substitute, isn’t it?…
Burgers are comforting. We graze on mass-produced patties of variable quality, and I have never had an objection in principle to fast-food burgers as long as the customer eats them as a treat. We blame the mass-produced burger for rising obesity rates but one burger a month does not a chubby diner make. Part of…
We don’t have months and months of good weather in Britain so we make the best of it when the sun does shine: DIY centres are targeted by those looking for charcoal, butchers are full of hunters of the great British banger or the ubiquitous burger, and fire stations are on alert. But there must…

Jamie Purviance has sufficient confidence to ally himself to that grill by penning Weber’s Complete Barbecue Book, which bears both his…
This is probably my favourite kind of book – that which combines travel and food. That’s not meals on wheels or in-flight refreshments – this is taking a trip and finding culinary gems along the way. Barbecue Road Trip is one of the most mouth-watering travel/food books around but it will delight and disappoint many…
The weather is getting warmer and a young man’s fancy turns to…the barbecue! Why should the blokes have all the fun, so I say this book is equally for the girls. This is a chunky book filled with photographs that make you want to rush out and light the barbecue even if it’s raining. Paul…
