NOTES : Nothing is more delicious than the smell of meat or fish grilling
over wood or charcoal and high on the list of the world's most
delicious smells is grilled salmon. If you are unfamiliar with
grilling outdoors, it's simple enough; you cook on a grill over an
open, smouldering fire and everything else is an extra to make
your task easier. Two sauce recipes are given, watercress and
whisky.
