My summers are always spent in the garden or on camping holidays with friends, and when evening arrives, a BBQ is always on the agenda. I’ve learnt that camping recipes can involve so much more than just a tin of soup or a cereal bar, in fact, I’ve even rustled up a delicious 3-course meal on a BBQ before!
Each dish was quick and easy to make, so whether you’re at home or on holiday why not cook up a BBQ feast using my recipes?
