"From Backyards to Beaches: A Journey Through the History and Joy of Barbecue" Actor Michael Crawford knows how to throw a memorable barbecue, as he holds one in the lush garden of his Wimbledon home. The aroma of BBQ grilled chicken fills the air, with succulent pieces sizzling on rotating skewers, ensuring that each bite is perfectly cooked.
