Notes from the backyard
After spending many years as a professional grill chef, I've moved on.
Now I maintained my passion for Charcoal grilling, evenings and weekends.
This site is to capture and share recipes, insights and experiments, as well as to help others learn the art of the grill.
"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer." - Dave Barry
Although burgers, pulled pork, corn on the cob and beer feature large in BBQ culture, there are many styles and recipes, for any occasion.
I have a love of grilled fish, be that with spicy salsas, smoked, baked in the coals or Japanese style Yakizakana.
Cultural influences have expanded the grills menu choices, Korean Marinated Beef Ribs, Tandoor influenced meats and kebabs, baked tubers all come off the Grill , there are even a number of deserts that adapt well to the Grill.
