The warming weather and fresh Spring smells spin our minds into outdoor gatherings & upcoming social events we all know and love as the Great Aussie BBQ.
Usually a late morning brunch or afternoon gathering of friends and family, BBQ’s have become a time honored tradition around the world.
Lazing around luxuriously with friends, enjoying home cooked fuss free food or in some cases burnt food.
I love using The Chefs Toolbox’s Ultimate Aussie BBQ Saviour. Great for marinated meats, fish or for your vegetarian fare this little gem is a favourite of ours. Use it on public BBQ’s (which lets face it can be very dirty) in the summer time then simply roll and return to the tube provided and clean when you return home.
With Fathers Day, BBQing and cooking schools abuzz Aimee and I went along to take part in a little BBQ research.
At centennial parklands on a gorgeous Sunny, Saturday, Sydney afternoon Aimee & I participated in a cooking class run by the bar-be school. With all the cooking school commotion we just couldn’t miss out on any of the FUN!
Our first dish of BBQ King Prawns with Chilli, Lemon & Herb Pesto was simply superb, prawns the size of a small dog graced our eyes and it was all hands on to skewer, marinate and BBQ! Sweet and delicate prawns perfectly cooked. Aimee polished off the remainder of the prawns & we then moved swiftly onto the main dishes;
Whole Baked Snapper w Mediterranean Marinade & BBQ Swordfish w Grilled Red Capsicums & Aioli.
Lastly the BBQ octopus w Sesame & Golden Syrup Vinaigrette sparked lots of enthusiasm with tongs chattering over the food as it sizzled away its song!
Inside we retreated to enjoy our BBQ fare sharing the deliciousness of our hard work on a single long communal table which was simply decorated.
Lots of laughs and helpful BBQ’ing tips learnt from the trained chefs during the 2 hour session of 'How to' Cook Seafood on BBQ.
Check out some of The Chefs Toolbox BBQ recipes and try some for Dad this Fathers Day!
Love Amie x
