Summer SIZZLERS
At the first sign of sunshine, you can guarantee someone in the household – usually the man – will be blowing the dust off the barbie and heading out for the compulsory sack of coals, as Jane Shotliff explains...
There’s something about cooking outdoors which means even the vagaries of the Great British Summer fail to dampen the spirits of we have-a- go-heroes when it comes to entertaining ‘al fresco’ between the months of May and September. (Having said that, I do have one friend who needs no excuse to fire up the ‘Brai’ whatever the weather — or the time of year. But he’s the exception, rather than the rule, I suspect…..)

tends to be the other way around? Maybe that’s a caveman thing …. Certainly, caveman’s carnivorous

cash – or need much space – in order to indulge yourself this summer. Instant barbecues come with
everything you need to turn a picnic into a portable feast; bucket barbecues likewise are lightweight and portable, meaning you can take your lip-smackin’ sizzling sensation to your location of choice. Just remember to respect your
