Taste for Beginners
Are you sick of always having burnt bangers and burgers? Worried if the chicken is cooked fully?

Then this ‘Taste for Beginners’ course is the one for you. This 3 hour, 10 dish barbecue course has been designed to help people learn the basics of barbecuing and will cover cooking to temperature rather than time.

Once you have learned the basics there is no end to the dishes you can produce from your grill; basically anything you cook in the kitchen can be recreated on the barbecue.

From a hot-dog with the works to a full rack of ribs this course has them all, 10 dishes that you get to cook and eat.

Taste of Asia
Who doesn’t love Asian food? There is a huge range of Eastern dishes that can be cooked on the barbecue and this ‘Taste of Asia’ explores just a few of them. A great many of the iconic Asian dishes are cooked in the street over live fire in a wok so are ideal for recreating on the barbecue. They are perfectly suited to cooking fish and chicken, noodles and vegetables. Once you have mastered the basics you can easily recreate the family’s favourites. These recipes can easily be cooked by even the novice pitmaster so don’t think you have to be an experienced barbecuer to learn how to cook tasty Eastern food.
Taste of Italy
The basics of Italian cooking are covered in this 'Taste of Italy' course, from pasta, risotto, bread, pizza as well as classic meat dishes. You don’t have to be a hugely experienced barbecuer as Richard will take you through the recipes step by step. Learn that there is more to your grill than the usual BBQ fare of burnt bangers and burgers. Not everything on the barbecue has to be a meat feast, you can grill healthy, tasty Mediterranesn dishes just as easily as you can cook them in the kitchen.
These courses give you just a few ideas as to what is possible on your grill; once you have the confidence to master these then anything becomes possible!
