Summer is coming – let’s dine al fresco

Throw off the winter blues, get out the BBQ, clean it up, heat it up and get cooking!

Barbecuing tips from the family chef:

• when cooking fish on the BBQ, wrap it in foil with sliced lemon and herbs
• when making kebabs, soak wooden skewers overnight in water before using to prevent them from burning
• when cooking steak turn only once to prevent dry meat and to allow each side to become crunchy… it really works
• put marinades on towards end of cooking as sugar or honey in them will cause burning
• fruit is lovely for afters; cook in foil with sprinkles of brown sugar
• ladies, don’t get caught in the trap of men doing the cooking and you cleaning up the barbie before and after cooking!
