Real Men Do It Outdoors: The Blokes' BBQ Cookbook

Joshua Barnes

$24.95

Longueville Books

In the introduction to Real Men Do It Outdoors: The Blokes' BBQ Cookbook, Barnes assures readers this book has been a labour of love.

Barnes wrote it with a beer in hand, on his back deck and gazing at his own barbeque.

The purpose of the book is to make using the barbeque an easy and attractive option to all home cooks because it brings family and friends together.

The book offers a range of information for novice barbequers including buying, assembling and cleaning your barbeque.

There's a selection of recipes as diverse as finger food, main meals and desserts and even the ever-popular pizza gets a barbeque make-over to help take some of the heat out of the kitchen.

Real Men Do It Outdoors is not a cookbook for those who have their barbecuing stripes. It is really targeted at those just starting out in the world of cooking, entertaining and understanding how to pick an ideal marinade for your dish.
