We are extremely excited to be hosting the online launch event for The Green Barbecue, the new book by Rukmini Iyer – bestselling author of the Roasting Tin series. She will be in conversation with Kate Young, award-winning food writer and cook.
The Green Barbecue is bursting with vegan and vegetarian recipes to cook outdoors and in. With summer on the horizon, it's time to make the most of the sunny days by sticking on the grill and getting some great food on the barbecue. If prepping a meat-free bbq seems like a challenge, think again: this collection of 75 flavour-packed and mouth-watering recipes is completely meat-free.
Whether you're entertaining for vegetarian guests or you're preparing a flexitarian feast, these recipes are quick and easy to make, great for all the family and completely fuss-free. With a wide range of veggie-friendly options, from griddled papaya and charred tenderstem to crispy barbecue tofu and dill-soused feta, this is the ultimate veggie book of 2021, to cook outdoors or in.
Rukmini Iyer is the author of the bestselling Roasting Tin series, selling over half a million copies to date. Convenient, simple and delicious one-dish cooking: the go-to books for busy people. The Roasting Tin Around the World was named in The Sunday Times and the Guardian's Best Cookbooks of 2020, with The Green Roasting Tin listed as a The Sunday Times Bestseller of the Year in 2019.
