Sweltering evenings, ice-cold drinks and long tables where friends and barbecue dishes come together. In Smokey Goodness Mediterranean BBQ Jord Althuizen takes you along the coasts of Spain, Portugal, Italy and Greece and shows you how to bring that Mediterranean atmosphere to your BBQ at home.

This 19th book is all about cooking over fire and smoke, with sunshine in your mind and great ingredients in your hands. Think tapas sizzling on the grill, pulpo over glowing coals, juicy souvlaki and pizzas with a crust that crackles when you slice into it. Open fire by the sea, fragrant herbs, good olive oil and wood smoke form the foundation of dishes you’ll want to share around long tables.

The Mediterranean approach offers a fresh perspective on barbecue. Less heavy, more layered. Less low & slow, more lively fire. From grilled fish and lamb to vegetables, flatbreads and flavourful sauces. The recipes are accessible, but never boring. Always packed with flavour, always with that unmistakable Smokey Goodness edge.

Expect dishes such as Smoked Iberico Rib Fingers with saffron yoghurt dip, grilled swordfish with pistachio crumble and creamy lemon-caper sauce, and desserts such as galaktoboureko with ouzo apricots. Alongside the recipes, the book features BBQ techniques and travel stories that show where these flavours come from.

Smokey Goodness Mediterranean BBQ is not a book to keep neatly on the shelf. It’s a book to leave open next to the BBQ, flick through and get dirty. A special book that gives your barbecue a whole new season.
