Our First Italian BBQ Course was eccellente!

Sally from La Cucina Italiana didn’t disappoint on our first Italian BBQ course. We cooked Involtini di pollo (Chicken stuffed with smoked cheese, wrapped in prosciutto), Tagliata (thinly sliced steak with ragu & red wine reduction & the most amazing pesto I’ve ever tasted) followed by Cipolla e tonno pizza ( red onion and tuna pizza). All prepared by the class and cooked on the gas Whistler grill and the charcoal Kamado Joe.

Italian BBQ course – only 2 Places left @ £99.

Italy is famous for many things but especially its food.

The Mediterranean dishes tend to be very simple and only have 4-8  ingredients and a family meal in Italy will often consist of large groups sitting down to enjoy a 8 or 9 course meal!

The Al fresco BBQ cooking course helps you recreate some of these wonderful dishes at home on your BBQ. Everything will be prepared and cooked from scratch using a variety of fresh ingredients.

Indian BBQ course was a hit

Our first Indian BBQ cooking course was epic!

As usual Lilian’s menu was top notch, the flavours, colour and aromas where incredible. All cooked on the Whistler gas grill and the Kamado Joe on the terrace at the Oaksmere Hotel. We cooked, drank, laughed and ate in the winter sunshine. We will definitely be running this course again this year. Thanks to Wendy Aiken Photography for the great pictures of the day.

Did you know rotisserie cooking is the healthiest BBQ method out there?

In addition to the ease of a rotisserie, another major advantage is that it allows the excess fat and grease to drain off during the rotation process, providing you with a healthier meal. The natural juices and water-soluble vitamins such as vitamin B3, B6 etc are locked into the meat, allowing you to get more health and less cholesterol out of the meat! The constant rotation action seals all these natural juices in, resulting in a juicy and tender meal.

Whistler Bibury awarded Best Gas BBQ & Best 5 Burner BBQ by Good Housekeeping Institute

We’re proud to announce that the Whistler Bibury BBQ has been tried and tested under rigorous analysis by the Good Housekeeping Institute, and has been recognised as ‘Best Gas BBQ’ and ‘Best 5 Burner BBQ’!

What did they say?

Score 91/100

An excellent crowd-feeder, this five-burner BBQ has multiple cooking zones and uniform heat distribution that produced pleasing results; it scored full marks cooking corn on the cob, vegetable kebabs and steak, and only dropped one mark on our sausage and burger tests. The accompanying rotisserie accessory also shone, cooking our chicken perfectly in under two hours.

This BBQ requires mains electricity, as do its built-in LED lights, limiting where it can be positioned. Arriving pre-built, you can also choose to buy this BBQ integrated into one of Whistler’s outdoor kitchens. The stainless steel design shows up dirt easily and it can get fiddly to clean, but overall it’s a premium BBQ.

Key specifications
Number of burners:
 5
Side burner: Yes
Grilling area: 101.6 x 48.26 cm
BBQ dimensions: H128.46 x W178.9 x D 68.97 cm
Materials: Stainless steel
Additional features: Flame thrower ignition, cover, rotisserie cooking grate and smoker box included, warming rack
Guarantee: Lifetime
