More than just a collection of recipes that can be prepared in a holiday environment, Beach, Bach, Boat, Barbecue celebrates the New Zealand tradition of enjoying as much as possible of the summer months on or around the coast. Divided into four main sections (Beach, Bach, Boat, Barbecue), each features about 22 recipes appropriate to its theme. A magnificent 'scene setting' photograph introduces each section and sets the ambience to follow. There are recipes to suit every taste and circumstance, including smoked fish and orzo with fresh herbs, chargrilled vegetable salad, clams and pasta with parsley pesto and barbecued butterflied leg of lamb. And there are plenty of sweet treats too. Evocative holiday images are interspersed among Ian Bachelor's fabulous food photographs.
