It’s the race that stops the nation and is a great excuse to fire up the barbie with family and friends (not that we need one!).

Our recommended Melbourne Cup Day BBQ recipes include:

*Low fat chicken satay skewers
*Char grilled beef salad with Asian flavours
*Grilled pineapple

A few showers are forecast for cup day morning so firing up the barbie in the afternoon is the way to go!
