My Favourite Burgers Over the years I have tried a wide variety of shop bought burgers. Normally, they tend to disappoint. I got to the point where I bought my own mincer to start making my own burger blend. They were okay but nothing special. Last year I tried a burger from a butcher in…
Gaucho Rump Steak Earlier this year I picked up some Gaucho Rump Steak in Iceland, which is part of their Luxury range. This is Uruguayan sourced beef from grass-fed cattle. In the pack is a knob of smoked garlic and herb butter but I didn’t use this. I was a little skeptical how this would taste…
I Can’t Get Enough Kebabs This Brazilain Style Beef Kebab recipe is cracking! I seem to be cooking kebabs every week this year. I absolutely love them and no matter which recipe I use, they come off the BBQ bursting with flavour. I have a pretty tried and tested method, which will deliver a great…
I love cooking chicken on the BBQ using the BBQ Vortex. Typically, it is chicken wings and thighs that I cook using the vortex, but I had a spare chicken breast left over from a dinner and thought I would try this BBQ Spiced Mango & Lime Chicken Burger. One of the great things about using…
Chicken Wings are one of my favourite foods to cook on the BBQ. They are cheap, quick and easy to cook, can be flavoured to suit your own personal taste, and if cooked well can be a real crowd pleaser. I kindly got sent some rubs and sauces to try from The Smokey Carter. Some…
The Final is Here The final of the World Cup 2018 is here, where France took on Croatia, to win their 2nd World cup! In the World Cup of BBQ, the votes went to France, so we are cooking Steaks Frites with Bearnaise Sauce. Steak-frites, meaning “steak [and] fries” in French, is a very common and popular…
The Losers Final The penultimate day of the 2018 World Cup sees the World Cup of BBQ stay in England for a 4th cook. This time I am doing Shorthorn Rump Steak with Yorkshires and Roast Potatoes. I debated between doing a full roast joint such as Topside Beef using the rotisserie, but I decided on Rump Steaks…
Semi-Final for England The second semi-final of the 2018 World Cup sees the World Cup of BBQ move back to England for the 3rd time, to cook Toad in the Hole which I served with and Mash with Onion Gravy. I didn’t expect to be cooking for England this far into the tournament and I am hoping that…
Mussels on the BBQ The first semi-final has arrived in the World Cup 2018, where we see Belgium take on France. In the World Cup of BBQ, the votes went to Belgium, so we are cooking Mussels with Frites (and of course with some mayo). Mussels are a firm favourite of mine especially for lunch served with…
Day 2 of the Quarter Finals The second quarter-final day of the 2018 World Cup sees the World Cup of BBQ moved back to England for the 2nd time. This could be the last game England play in the world cup this year, so I thought I would take the opportunity to do a good old English Fry-up. The Cook…
