‘BBQ Mastery’ into ‘BBQ Secrets’ – yes, my first book, Ben & I have redone it into a ‘Secrets’ Vol 4!.

It is a new ‘BBQ beginners’ book and is available now on Amazon. I have written most of the content although my good mate Ben will add some stuff as it really is a joint project as are all our books, although this time my name will go first! Ha! Ha!

The original book was A4 size. It was published in 2007 so 19 years ago!

The content however of the book is still very current and although I may leave out some of it that isn’t really relevant these days, the new one will be in colour, whereas the older version was in Black and White (content) due to costing and publishing costs in those days. It was then published by Pan Macmillan, the major publisher of that era.

Working with Ben is a great partnership and this new book will cement the relationship even further, more books to come in the series though, and having great fun writing them too! Ross

PS: The picture of me below was taken by my official photographer, Chantal, she decided how it should be taken and I was grateful for the advice! Thank you Chantal…

It will appear in our next ‘British & Australian Secrets’ – ‘The Beginning’ – volume 4 – out May 2026

‘Drongos’ is now out of print but the good news is that…….

Our new ‘Secrets’ book – ‘The Beginning’ is replacing it!

Out now on Amazon
