A barbecue has to be one of the easiest ways to entertain. The cooks get to mingle with guests outdoors and it’s one time when blokes flock to help with the cooking.
Barbecue food should be light, fresh and revitalising – a move away from the more stodgy food of winter. Combine barbecued meat and seafood with sweet, crisp spring vegetables for the ultimate meal to welcome longer days and warmer temperatures.
