You don't need much for grilling. A grill that you can also make yourself or a disposable grill from the gas station is enough to prepare one or the other dish. But when barbecuing in the garden, not everything is allowed. Sometimes fines of up to 250,000 euros can be imposed. But with good preparation, it doesn't have to come to that. There are good reasons for a relaxed barbecue.

Manu Weyer reveals which products are prepared to perfection and how, and even entire menus are possible. From pimped bratwurst to corn tortilla with tasty filling.

For barbecuing, you don't necessarily need a large garden or have to retreat to a barbecue area. Barbecuing on the balcony is also possible and is subject to hardly any restrictions in the recipes, so that steaks or grilled melon can be prepared.
