Fire up the firepit and let's get barbecuing. As an experienced chef and food writer - and a dab hand with the barbie tongs - Ross Dobson knows a thing or two about cooking with fire. In this book his recipes are especially tailored to creating great meals on a firepit with a simple grill or hotplate.

Ross shares tips on the best wood to use, foolproof instructions to tame the flame and make the heat last, advice on how to prepare food for the grill, marinades for tenderising and adding flavour, plus ideas for delicious butters, salsas, dips and breads.

Over 90 recipes, for chicken, fish, pork, beef, lamb, vegetarian meals and vegetables, are simple to prepare, fun to cook and perfect for your firepit barbecue... Whether it's fragrant chicken parcels for a healthy midweek family dinner, whole trout with lemon and dill for Sunday lunch, or spicy beef kebabs for a cruisy Friday night feast with friends. That's cooking with fire!
