To celebrate how the art of barbequing differs around the world, an artist, commissioned by the Scottish butchers Donald Russell, has illustrated different regional BBQs and the common delicacies often found sizzling on top of them. From the UK to Brazil, all corners of barbequing have been covered.

The 8 illustrations were done using line drawings on Photoshop before being colored by using a watercolor effect to create a series of mouthwatering images.

Here’s what the artist has to say about the visuals: “This was a fascinating project to work on and the product of extensive research into the wide variety of barbeque recipes enjoyed across the globe. In creating the visuals, we endeavored to ensure each illustration felt authentic to the unique cooking processes of each cuisine and to convey the range of interpretations of the word ‘barbeque’ worldwide. The final designs have a hand-drawn, recipe-book feel which blends heritage and tradition with a bold, vibrant palette which emphasizes the unique social and summery experience of the barbeque.”

South African BBQ

Barbecuing is more than a meal in South Africa, it’s a lifestyle and practically a national sport. For South Africans, the weekend means one thing: grilling meat over wood. And this isn’t just a quick grilling, a braai (that’s what they call it) can last for hours and is a real feast.
