This month, it’s time to fire up the barbecue and make the most of al fresco dining. Inside our March issue, we have plenty of tasty grill recipes that are perfect for enjoying outdoors. If you’re a BBQ beginner, not to worry – we have a step-by-step guide to safe cooking with fire and super-simple recipes like the mouthwatering Greek chicken kebab, smoky mushroom burgers, or delicious BBQ sardines with chermoula sauce that are ideal for enjoying during a lazy afternoon in the garden.

March 21 sees Mother’s Day, so we’ve rounded up some of the city’s best foodie offerings including everything from special afternoon teas to indulgent breakfasts and poolside brunch. Paired with BBC Good Food Middle East this month you’ll find your free copy of the 2019 Spring/Summer Brunch Guide, which highlights must-try brunches from across the city – we also review four of Dubai’s newest seasonal brunches, including The Loft at Dubai Opera, Hakkasan Dubai, Katsuya at Jumeirah Al Naseem and Il Ristorante by Niko Romito at Bvlagri Resort Dubai. All this, plus much more.
