The Great Aussie Barbie Cookbook is a must for anyone who has ever prodded a sausage over a flame and dreamed of something more. It covers all the basics of cooking on the barbie, and is full of ideas for delicious dishes to suit any occasion - a family gathering, a special celebration or just a regular school-night meal. Using the best fresh produce available, the recipes are uncomplicated and unfussy, and work every time.

And it's not just the main courses that get attention. Kim Terakes, a hopeless foodie by any definition, shows you how to frame the perfect steak with tasty starters, healthy salads and absolutely irresistible desserts.
