Jamie Cooks Summer

We often complain about Australia's searing heat but considering the Brits hardly enjoy sun-filled summers, we should probably count ourselves lucky, at least according to Jamie Oliver. The much-loved celebrity chef laps up every moment of sunshine over Britain's brief summer by taking the cooking outdoors. Using his clever and creative culinary talents, Oliver shows us how to whip up a simple outdoor feast without the fancy cookware. On the menu is portable beef brisket which makes a perfect filling with homemade guacamole for tortilla wraps, fish smoked over a makeshift smoker (a metal bucket filled with hot charcoal and woodchips), a mouth-watering spit roast (again a makeshift set-up using sticks) and some refreshing fruit-juice icy poles. If you're in need of some summer foodie ideas, Oliver will not disappoint.
