Grilling and BBQ can be a building block for making the global world a better place: by hosting barbecues across national borders, exchanging recipes, and negotiating business deals. That's why we've once again addressed a wide range of international topics for this issue.
Paizão shows us the importance of cassava root in Brazil (starting on page 74), Peter Kemnitzer traveled to Africa again (starting on page 60), we tried a restaurant in Prague (page 93) and visited the Rungis in Paris (starting on page 66). In Vienna, Barbara Naschenweng showed us her favorite recipes (starting on page 68). Lucki Maurer reports on a very special travel experience, inspired by Japanese cuisine (starting on page 30).
We're always happy to share with you how others grill, prepare their meals, and celebrate barbecues. And we appreciate your keen interest. Dates for national and international live BBQs can be found in our event calendar (starting on page 56). Come along – in Bayreuth at the Father's Day BBQ, at the barbecue in Bucharest, or at BBQ WEEK in September in Cologne. The original motto of Rolf Zubler, who founded the WBQA in January 1996, was: "Make people happy, let's barbecue, and make friends around the world!"
All of this is even more important to us today. So be a part of it and join in!
