Celebrating the very best in at-home
alfresco eating & entertaining...

After a hot and damp’ish Spring, with luck the sunny weather will return in time for the summer which is great, so, we’ll all be able to enjoy the very best of alfreaco eating, entertaining and family & friends get-togethers.

Alfresco eating & BBQ a perfect combination!

This year the Gastro Alfresco and National BBQ Week events are combining into one summer-long celebration of awesome alfresco eating, entertaining & get-togethers.

The FIFA World Cup
is on, and at knockout stage!

Well Scotland didn’t make it through, but England topped their group, although the Ghana match wasn’t the best! Then the first knockout match against DR Congo, an incredible performance by them, unfortunately, much less so for England, but we finally won, although very much last minute and thanks to two great goals by Harry Kane! So it’s on to a hi-altitude match against Mexico on their home ground, the Azteca stadium? However you can still get in the mood, with World Cup Team, Global Alfresco recipes right here, there are 48, one for each team, competing, plus 2 bonus Home Natiions teams!
