This 50-card boxed set and a 64-page book unlocks the secrets of fantastically flavorsome grills, with recipes for versatile BBQ rubs, marinades, glazes, and butters.

Incredible flavors, inspiring ingredients, and the epitome of laid-back entertaining—grilling is the best way to cook in the summertime. Whether you like your food fiercely hot or prefer gentler aromatic flavors, Valerie Aikman-Smith has created an enticing array of marinades, brines, butters, rubs, and glazes to add flavor to your cooking, either outside on the grill or in your kitchen.

Creative matching of seasonings help create exciting new taste sensations as well as tried and tested favorites from around the world. Nothing brings out the flavor in meat like a marinade, and it also tenderizes it and can keep it moist whilst cooking, too. Inspiration for pork includes Sticky Smoky Baby Back Ribs and Blackberry and Sage Glazed Ham. Beef can be made even more mouth-watering when prepared with an African Smoke Rub or a Matahambre Marinade. Options for lamb include a Pomegranate and Harissa seasoning or a Lavender Salt Rub, while, and for poultry, choose from Cherry-glazed Duck Skewers or Jamaican Jerk Chicken. For those who love the enticing aroma of grilled Fish, try Spiced Red Snapper with Chermoula or Grilled Lobsters with melting butters. Vegetarian options include Caramelized Beet Tatin with Marinated Goat Cheese.
