RECIPE:Perhaps the most interesting aspect of modern barbecue is the array of unexpected food items that now find their way onto the grill as part of any thoughtful barbecue event. And probably the best example is cheese. Consider this...

Bob Hart's Lamb for Austraila Day

RECIPE: Australia Day should be a day in the course of which the aromas of barbecuing lamb rise into the heavens across the nation. It's our national duty.

Bob Hart's Perfect Steak Sanger

RECIPE: "After the extreme indulgence that usually accompanies the festive season, you may find - as I know I will - that you have a craving for simple food. And simple does not, of course, equate with dull."

Bob Hart's BBQ Caesar Salad

RECIPE: When you think about dishes to cook on your barbecue, this may not be one of the first that comes to mind. But then, success as a barbecuer depends on your ability to deliver an entire meal from the grill, not just a few burnt snags to go with a salad somebody has brought along, or that has been whipped up in the kitchen.

Bob Hart's Salmon Sanger

RECIPE: At QVM last week, I cooked centre fillets of King salmon on cedar planks, and served them on Dench grain bread. Several people who were there on the day have emailed and asked for the recipe, and here it is:

• Bob Hart's Rabbit Tonnato

Bob Hart's Glazed Baked Ham

RECIPE: Baked ham is a wondrous thing – whether you do it in the oven or in your charcoal barbecue with a few hickory chips. The secret is carefully to remove the skin before scoring the fat.

• Bob's ice cream pudding

Bob's Taste of Danish Christmas

RECIPE: With Princess Mary and Prince Frederic of Denmark going to the trouble of visiting us this week, Bob thinks adding a touch of Denmark to our Christmas plans this year is the very least we can do.

Bob Hart's Roast Turkey

RECIPE: "The thing to remember about roasting a turkey is, if you want it to be moist when you carve it, make sure you brine it overnight, and ideally for longer, before roasting it. There's nothing easier."

Bob's posh chicken sanger

When you encounter brilliant canapés or nibbles, there is one important question you have to ask yourself: is this as good as a perfect chicken sandwich? I reckon the answer, most times, is absolutely not.

The Perfect French Omelette

RECIPE: "Chefs often talk about ways in which they test trainees before they hire them. And the most common way, apparently, is to ask the aspiring chef to make them an omelette."

Bob's delicious Doughnuts

RECIPE: Bob Hart loves his doughnuts, so take it from a pro and make your own!

Bob Hart's Rad Croquetta

There are two things we should all recognise about great recipes: they are usually simple, and they come from unexpected places. Take, for example, a recipe I have just been given for a delicious Spanish snack called croquetta.

Bob's delicious Dill butter

RECIPE: Cooking the perfect salmon can be a daunting challenge for some, but Bob Hart knows a little secret. Simply whip up some Dill Butter and you'll be well on your way.

Chicken Thighs in Tarragon Sauce

RECIPE: "I love tarragon, and it is going mad this year. It seems to like the damp, cool weather. Brilliant herb. I have lots of tarragon recipes, but this one - for chicken thighs in butter, cream and tarragon, is my favourite."

Bob Hart's Chilli

Chilli is a dish that began it's life in those cowboy states of the US that border Mexico and has developed into something Mexicans would not recognise.

Bob Hart's Cheese Souffle

For years, people seriously believed that a souffle was a difficult, almost impossible, dish to prepare. Which is nonsense. A souffle is, in fact, deliciously simple to execute, and even easier to eat.

Bob's Red Roast Duck Curry

Delicious Asian dishes need not be complicated. And I can think of few better examples than this simple, delectable curry which can be whipped up very quickly indeed.

Aussie Day Lamb Burgers

Recipe: The question as to what we should eat on Australia Day is raised every year. And this year, I reckon, we should make a final decision, and stick to it for the next few hundred years, at least.

Roast Pork and Apple Hash

Recipe: Restaurants across the US are making a hero of hash, and it has found its way onto some very fashionable menus, including that of a trendy restaurant called Seersucker in New York.

Bob's Turkey Brine Recipe

BOB HART: "At this time of year, Americans get all warm and fuzzy about Thanksgiving and, to a slightly lesser extent, Christmas. It is also a time when American turkeys become very nervous, and with good reason."

• Bob's sweet potato mash

Mango and Blueberry Recipe

MANGOES and blueberries are both in great shape in our fruit shops at the moment. And while both are best eaten unadorned, I occasionally combine them into something extraordinary as a luxurious dessert.

Boneless Chicken Recipes

We've talked about cooking chickens whole - beer butt chicken and butterflied chicken, for example. But chicken pieces - breasts or boneless thighs - also work brilliantly well cooked in a number of ways.

Bob Hart's Classic BLT

BOB HART RECIPE: Two things have happened in the last week to make me rush home and prepare my favourite sandwich, a classic BLT - bacon, lettuce and tomato.

Bob Hart's Caesar Salad

RECIPE: A caesar salad is a wondrous thing, even in winter. I make a fairly purist version, but I have eaten plenty that were good that broke all the rules. My suggestion, however, is always to start out following the rules, and then break them if you like, and if you have a good reason for doing so.
