This time I bring you two rather unusual subjects that I am particularly fond of…SIZZLERS and BARBEQUES.

Sizzlers are a recent inno-vention that consists of an entire meal served on a cast iron platter that is placed on a wooden base. This is a collection of eleven innovative sizzler combinations inspired by world cuisines featuring many authentic recipes that presented on sizzling platters to make innovative combinations. Four of these are delectable dessert sizzlers…an eclectic way to end a meal!

Barbeques are for outdoor cooking ….. Most often vegetarians who are invited to barbeques end up with a very limited selection of foods, as most barbecued dishes are meat based. Even at cocktail parties the vegetarian fare is restricted to boring bites like peanuts, cashewnuts and pakodas.

The section on Barbeques and Grills has a delectable selection of twenty three vegetarian appetizers that include more than the usual tandoori marinade along with a section on dips and sauces to accompany these tongue ticklers…Easy to make dishes that can be prepared in a jiffy for unexpected guests …and will speak volumes about your culinary skills.

Another advantage is that you do not have to only grill or barbeque these dishes…you can also sauté them in a pan to make your work.….you will only miss the smoke flavour that barbeque grills impart.
