Publisher's Synopsis
Whether in a city park, on a balcony, deep in the countryside , or in your own back garden, indulge your senses with over 120 finger-licking recipes that prove that food tastes better in the great outdoors. Inspired by the Indian street food, Japanese teriyaki, the spiced meats of the Middle East and the America's lavish seafood spreads, award-winning writer and picnic enthusiast Hugo Arnold has compiled a comprehensive guide to outdoor feasting. Whatever your aspirations, be it the ultimate barbecue, exotic finger food, or just sandwiches for the rucksack and a flask of wholesome soup, there are recipes here to suit the occasion. In addition the book is packed with helpful tips on creative ways to cut corners - because nobody wants to spend a sunny day in the kitchen - and advice on planning, packing and preparation, as well as beautiful location photography. With the weather improving yearly, both the novice and veteran barbecuer will want to turn their tongs to dishes such as char-grilled prawn kebabs, Cajun chicken wings with avocado salsa, crispy sea bass and lamb burgers with goat's cheese stuffing. And for those who don't play with fire, there's caramelised onion and feta tart, grilled salmon and roasted red peppers in ciabatta or hot pumpkin soup.
