outdoor cooking

Barbecue and campfires

Outdoor cooking is preparing food outside, typically over an open flame or portable heat source.

The term covers everything from backyard grilling to campfire meals to elaborate barbecue setups.

We do a lot of outdoor cooking in the summer.

The phrase emphasizes the setting rather than any particular technique or cuisine.
