A comprehensive collection of over 350 recipes for the grill with a generous handful of favourite barbecue accompaniments, The Canadian Living Barbecue Collection remains true to the trusted reliability of the “Tested until Perfect” spirit of the magazine’s Test Kitchen while pushing the envelope for contemporary taste and style. Over 100 of the recipes are new to the pages of Canadian Living magazine, and along with the over-200 best barbecue recipes from the last decade of the magazine, they are carefully selected to fulfil the needs of home cooks, from everyday cooking to entertaining, and to fully represent the inventive and multicultural palate of modern Canadian cuisine.

The Canadian Living Barbecue Collection covers the whole range of backyard and deck grilling — from chicken to quail, beef to lamb, pickerel to mackerel, shrimp to octopus, corn on the cob to pizza. Recipes cover the simple and straightforward to those that might challenge the gourmet cook, but most importantly, all the recipes were chosen first and foremost for their deliciousness.

1 lb (454 g) white pizza dough
2 tsp (10 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

1 tomato, sliced into 1/4-inch(5mm)thick rounds

Brush with oil. Place, oiled side down, directly on greased grill over medium heat. Grill, uncovered and watching carefully to avoid burning, until bubbles form on top and grill marked underneath, 3 to 6 minutes.
