Let Honey Tantalise Your Taste Buds This Summer!
Before you read any further, I just want to say that these recipes were sent to me on March 22 on a cold, wet, not-quite-Spring day . I was a bit incredulous at the opening paragraph but if you can get beyond all that PR stuff, the recipes are actually rather yummy!!
so....here we go....and I quote..........
"Just when we thought that the dark winter weather was here to stay, the sun has miraculously reappeared from its hiding place to enable us to bring our BBQs back to life! Gone are the days of ducking in and out of the rain, fully dressed in a winter wardrobe…now its time to pull out your flip flops and t-shirts and get cooking out there in the sunshine! However, planning a BBQ is never as easy as it sounds! It’s all very well inviting a handful of friends over and throwing several hunks of meat on to sizzle, but then there’s the dilemma of what other delicacies you can rustle up alongside it!"
