What happens when ash dieback meets community spirit?

Chris from Small Woods explains how volunteers hand-harvest timber from local woodlands, helping manage trees affected by ash dieback while creating something positive from the process.

The wood is transformed into beautiful benches, furniture and practical products, with people taught traditional woodworking skills along the way. It’s conservation, craftsmanship and community support all rolled into one.

And nothing goes to waste. Any timber that can’t be used is carbonised into charcoal through pyrolysis, before finding its way to brilliant businesses like Embers, where it’s put to work cooking incredible food.

From woodland to workshop to wood-fired cooking, every piece has a purpose.

It’s World RosĂ© Day - pass it on! A good bottle of rosĂ© has the freshness to work with grilled fish and vegetables, but enough character to stand up to pork, chicken and big flavours.

We don’t need the excuse to raise a glass this weekend.

What’s on your grill?

Welcome to the Summer Issue dropping soon đŸ”„

Big names and big feasts set us up for an epic summer of BBQ, whether that means cooking in the garden with friends, dining out with family, or gathering around a shared fire where strangers become friends.

Jamie Oliver retains all the charisma and energy that first captured our attention as The Naked Chef 27 years ago. A true kitchen polymath, it might be that the BBQ is actually Jamie’s natural home.

Kaleb Cooper may have become a TV star through Clarkson’s Farm, but he’d still rather be on a tractor, with a BBQ in the barn and meat from his own livestock on the grill.

Gladiator and former rugby and NFL player Alex ‘Apollo’ Gray heads to Cinder, while Michelin-starred chef Roger Jones showcases outstanding food and drink pairings. Add drinks expert Andy Clarke and rugby legend Alun Wyn Jones, and you have quite the gathering.

Our US correspondent Rasheed Philips reports from Memphis in May, while Isabelle Gray tackles wood-fired pizza and conquers her dough demons at a country house hotel.

Nick Weston of Hunter Gather Cook makes the case for venison as a sustainable, nutritious choice, while Zana Millen and Rawlston Williams explore the rich flavours of the Caribbean.

Jodie Tonks is a name to remember. Winner of the Kamado Joe and Great British Chefs Young BBQ Chef of the Year competition, she impressed head judge Paul Ainsworth with her winning dish.

The Beefy Boys return with Great British BBQ, a celebration of Britain’s long grilling heritage, while our recipe pages once again deliver inspiration for every style of outdoor cooking.

As our Outdoor Living feature reveals, buyers are increasingly looking beyond the back door when choosing a home. Whatever the size of your outdoor space, there has never been a better time to cook outside.
