BBQ Origins Mouth-watering Meats

Born and grilled—I mean raised—in Brisbane, MJ Raatz has turned his lifelong passion for smoky, juicy, finger-licking-good meats into a full-blown culinary crusade. His debut book, BBQ Origins: Mouth-watering Meats, is part cookbook, part love letter to the art of the Aussie barbecue, and part excuse to eat more ribs (purely for research, of course).

MJ doesn’t just share recipes—he shares stories. From humble backyard cook-ups to legendary pitmasters who started with little more than a rusty hotplate and a dream, MJ takes readers on a meaty journey through the heart and soul of Australia's BBQ culture. With tips so simple even your mate Dave can follow them (and he once set fire to a salad), this book is both practical and packed with personality. Oh and there's a heap of "dad" jokes which will keep the family entertained!

Whether you're a seasoned grill guru or the type who Googles “how to turn on the BBQ,” MJ’s got your back—with tongs in hand and a sausage in the other.

Plus, he's a great friend of our store and wonderful supporter, so let's support him!
