The best recipe for Chili (or chilli) sauce is a matter of much debate among fans - some like it hot, some like it extra hot, and some like it hot enough to remove the enamel from your teeth! The bottom line is, most people need a chili sauce strong enough to accentuate the taste of whatever they are eating (typically meat cuts, kebabs and so on) but NOT so hot that it can be life-threatening. This is why I am happy to share with you, my own favorite chili sauce recipe, which was generously donated to me by Andy,...

One of my favourite types of food is Indian cuisine. So being able to make Indian style food on the barbecue appeals greatly to me. Tandoori food is traditionally made in a clay oven called a tandoor in which meat is placed on long oversized metal skewers and placed through the top of the tandoor, with the tip of the skewer touching the bottom where the charcoal is smouldering. The heat inside the tandoor sears the surface of the meat, while the metal skewers conduct the heat through the inside of the food. Cooking the meat simultaneously on both the...

1. Try something new and you might be surprised. Let the staff make suggestions. Compare the wines aged in steel to those aged in oak. 2. Take Notes especially if you are gone all day. Most wineries offer a list that will assist you on keeping track. When you get home to your local wine shop, you will appreciate having a cheat sheet. 3. Visit during off season. November through May is an excellent time. You might be only one of the few guests all day, so the staff can give you some extra time. 4. Ask Questions. Winery staff...
