Traditionally, the great Aussie barbecue tends to be a rather casual affair. Beef sausages and grilled onions wrapped in bread, beer by the can, and probably no entrǸes or desserts to speak of. But, that doesnƒ??t have to be the case. The barbecue is a surprisingly versatile appliance, and the Beer & BBQ Cooking Class is an ideal way to teach one lucky voucher recipient how to get the most out of their beloved barbie.

The class goes for a full three hours, and is available at set times (mainly Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays) in the ACT, Sydney, the Hunter Valley, and Brisbane. On arrival, participants will be treated to some crusty Turkish bread with Pukara oils and balsamic, and armed with an apron, cooking implements, and a full set of the finest ingredients.

Participants will then embark on putting together a veritable four-course feast, under the friendly guidance of the BBQ Schoolƒ??s fully-qualified chef. The meal will consist of the following dishes (subject to seasonal change):

EntrǸe: BBQ scallops, Nahm Jihm dressing, and crunchy Asian salad

Mains: Beer can Jerk chicken and sweet potato wedges; and a scotch fillet steak w/ basil, pea and feta salad

Dessert: Dark and white choc-lava pudding with cream and balsamic strawberries

Talk about raising the bar of barbecuing! And, best of all, the class will devour everything they cook, paired perfectly with four heavenly craft beers. Most importantly though, participants will leave with new-found confidence and skills on the barbecue, along with a full set of notes and recipes, so theyƒ??ll be able to recreate everything at home, to the delight of guests at future cook-ups!
