Our Australian lifestyle allows us to be outdoors for most of the year, and from our experience, most entertaining at home involves minimum-effort, maximum-flavour, barbecue-based food.   Al-fresco dining can range from a picnic in your backyard to a romantic candle-lit dinner for two.  The feeling of eating outside is wonderful -  try having fresh herbs in your garden to pick there and then when serving food. If you don’t have a barbecue, these dishes are easy to be cooked inside using your oven or stove and taken outside to enjoy the atmosphere.
