Seasoning works best when each layer has a purpose. Build flavour without hiding what is on the grill.

A thoughtful cut helps vegetables stay manageable, cook more evenly and make useful contact with the grate.

The easiest barbecue menu is one whose dishes cooperate with your space and timing.

The pleasure is in the contrast: bright lemon against smoky edges, warm bread against cool yogurt. These chicken skewers are an invitation to put everything in the middle of the table.

A smoky rack of ribs turns a long afternoon into the main event. Let the bark develop, keep the fire steady and finish with just enough glaze to catch the light.

A vegetable platter deserves its own place at the fire. Cut generously, cook in batches and let a sharp dressing find its way into all the charred edges.

Keep the seasoning spare and the attention on the cooking. A hot zone gives you a crust; a quiet zone lets the centre catch up. Finish with a bright parsley sauce.

Skin-on salmon needs a clean grate, a little oil and the confidence to leave it alone. Lemon and dill keep the finish light.

Tangy, gently sweet and easy to adjust. Make a small batch, then use it as a finishing glaze or put it on the table for everyone to help themselves.
