Licence To Grill

About the show

Licence To Grill, celebrates the joys of backyard entertaining and the BBQ!

Each episode sees host and chef Robert Rainford out in his backyard preparing to have people over for dinner that evening. With the BBQ as the central theme, Robert shows us the how’s and why’s of perfect BBQ-ology with recipes ranging from the delicious and simple (perfect hamburgers, steaks, kebabs) to more ambitious fare (leg of lamb, hot smoking sides of fish, grilled desserts).

Enjoy the outdoors and get cooking!

    This was one of the best BBQ shows ever. My partner & I watched this show religiously & we entertained neighbours & friends on a regular basis with Roberts recipes. Please Foxtel, bring this show back...

    It's a pity if it's true that Robert has been replaced as the grill guru Barbie king. He has both the passion and skill to cook a feast most would find difficult to complete. Thankyou Robert for your mentoring. You are my BBQ idol. Aussie Johnno

    My husband and I have thoroughly enjoyed his shows and recipes. It's exciting to watch his show because his enthusiasm and love of food comes through the tv screen and into the watchers. It makes you just want to jump up and run to the kitchen to start preparing his terrific recipes, even if you can't eat it all - just invite neighbors over. Everybody can't help but enjoy the results.

    Yep I miss him too, I wrote a letter to the new FOOD CHANNEL to get him back on, bought 2 of his books have tons of his recipes in an alphabetical file but I want to see him on TV again regularly. BRING HIM BACK, there are many people I know that really like his show. I learned more about grilling from Rob then I ever did from Bobby Flay. I like Flay but he doesn't go into the detail Rob did so I could understand how to do it.

    I have been trying to find my BBQ recipe book I made from Robs shows that I t-voed but could not find it, now I need all of his great marinades and recipes. This guy rocks the grill! I hope to find his cookbooks or maybe online recipes now that I have found him again. Get Rob back on US TV, what a dumb move taking such a great chef off the air.

    I absolutely love this show. My daughter is really catching on to cooking because of it. The U.S. should be ashamed of getting rid of such a great show. I guess Rob should go on a reality show to get back on the air here.Loved the fish stew in the hollowed out pineapple. You Rock. Keep on grilling.

    Bring back Rob! I bought a new 5 burner bbq with rotisserie so I could try out some of his great recipes, and then I found out he wasn't on anymore!

  • Bill
    April 2009

    I too miss this show. I picked up some great recipes from watching. The BBQ pork butt and vinager sauce is wonderful.

  • Jason

    I seriously hate the fact that Discovery Home left, not because they turned GREED, I mean Green. (pun intended). Rob was on in the States on that Channel as well as Kylie Kwong and that Chef at Home fella. I really enjoyed all of these programs and especially Robby's. He was the reason I bought a 4 burner for my balcony at my apartments and really got into grillin'. I guess its been almost a year since they made the change and no signs of Sir Rainford's presence on American television. And truly its a shame. Wish he could be on the air down here soon, there's a lot of us who miss him.

    How could you not get excited about BBQing when watching this show! Great food ideas easily adapted to Aussie palates. In reply to FD - find a butcher who does do proper ribs, we have an excellent local butcher who is happy to cut extra meaty ribs for us.

  • TC78

    this dude has real enthusiasm. Never seen a grown man get so excited when barbequing. Awesome show....

    Have tried them and can recommend smoked pork belly, tex mex baby back ribs and potatoe jackets. Need to buy whole belly of pork and make ur own ribs tho- no good getting from butchers as not enough meat on them.
