IT'S time to fire up that barbecue! We’ve been blessed with some glorious weather (long may it continue) and now's the perfect chance to make the most of it and dine alfresco.

We’ve had a rifle through our recipes and pulled out some perfect barbie food, plus some tempting side-dishes to go along with it (which could make for ideal picnic food too).

Also, if you’ve got a bbq favourite you’d like to share, we’d love to see it.

Just add your comments below.
