The Book of Grilling & Barbecues [antikvár]

-INTRODUCTION- What can be more relaxing than eating 'al fresco' on the patio or in the garden on a balmy night in spring or summer? As darkness falls the grey ashen coals of the barbecue turn to glowing red and the aroma of barbecued food, and the smoke wafting upwards, stimulates the taste buds and creates a huge appetite. With a glass of wine or a long cool drink, the sumptuous finger-licking steaks, shiny brown sausages or hotly-sauced chicken legs taste so much better when eaten outside. Barbecuing and grilling can be lifted from the mundane foods, and with little additional effort many imaginative and unusual dishes can be created. The Book of Grilling & Barbecues shows you how, with over 100 delicious recipes, each illustrated with step-by-step photographs. Whole Laurier Flounder, stuffed and cooked in a blanket of bay and vine leaves; Hickory Smoked Chicken (smoked in a covered barbecue over hickory chips); traditional Souvlakia from Greece; Applejack Duck; butterflied trout impregnated with saffron - these are just a few of the tempting ideas for you to try. The recipe selection ranges from fish and shellfish, and meat and poultry, to a variety of vegetable dishes including Hot Hot Aloo (potatoes doused in lime pickle) and Sweet and Sour Aubergines. There are also plenty of suggestions for salads, sauces and dips to accompany the main courses. And to ensure a grand finale, for dessert there's a luscious assortment to choose from; Hot Tropicana or Rum & Raisin Sharon Fruit, plus many more. Barbecuing can be an all-the-year-round activity; you can even barbecue in a garage in the winter provided there is plenty of ventilation, and there is even an indoor electric barbecue that is mess-free and ideal for winter grilling and griddling. Barbecuing is a pastime for everyone and is a most informal and popular way of entertaining. There is nothing to compare with the flavour of this style of cooking and whether you want to have a lunch or dinner time cookout with family or friends, or simply a romantic evening for two, you'll find the perfect recipe here.
