There's so much more to barbecues than sausages and burgers. Chef Ben Tish excels in creating stunning grilled, barbecued, smoked, charred, and slow-roasted dishes that enhance the flavor of meat, fish, and vegetables.

You can make fantastic food on a barbecue, be it in your backyard, on a tiny urban balcony, or on a campsite. All you need is the simplest barbecue with a lid and some charcoal, and you can make everything from pizza to ribs and even desserts. There's no need to wait for summer to get the barbecue out. The smoky, rich taste of food cooked over an open fire is one of life's true pleasures and these recipes will inspire you to use your barbecue for much, much more than steak.
