  • Pork & Leek Sheng Jian Baos

    Our cover star from Verna Gao, serve these bao buns with chilli or soy dipping sauce.

  • Szechuan Lamb Belly Bao Buns

    Baos are a feature of many different countries, and this recipe is a true globe trotter - marrying smoked BBQ flavours, with tingly Chinese Szechuan pepper, and the British love of lamb.

  • Kansas City BBQ Sauce

    In Mexico a caramel sauce made with goats milk and cinnamon called cajeta is common. It is similar to dulce de leche and I’ve used that here mixed with a classic Kansas City-style BBQ recipe to make a sweet and tangy sauce that will be your new favourite

  • BBQ Chocolate & Banana Breads

    Bread made on the barbecue is delicious and this sweet version is a sure-fire crowd pleaser. Use the best chocolate and hazelnut spread you can get your hands on.

  • Smoky Clams With Miso & Sweetcorn

    In this recipe, the clams are essentially steamed on the barbecue but you still get the bonus of the smoky flavour from their time on the grill. Paired with umami miso and juicy sweetcorn.

  • Italian BBQ Veg & Grilled Lemon Dressing

    This dish puts vegetables back in the barbecue spotlight and is a beautiful centrepiece for a summer party or al fresco dinner. Drizzle with smoky citrus, and top with a ball of mozarella.
