Today commercial products enjoy mass-marketing and expensive advertising to appeal to customers.

Many of these commercial brands are unfortunately bland and flavorless (and expensive).

That's why it's so much better (and fun) to develop your own homemade recipe and put your unique taste signature on it.

Here's a selection from around the world to get you started.

These recipes bring out the best in all your grilled foods, but should never overpower them.

Reminder, any sugar-based sauce should go on during the last 20 to 30 minutes of cooking to avoid burning.
