Easy BBQ Recipe

This lovely weather means that we are currently enjoying our 3rd BBQ in as many days and we have one planned for every day over this Easter period.

Sometimes it is good to step away from the experimenting with various BBQ recipes and just go for a nice and simple BBQ dish. So last night we went for the ever brilliant BBQ recipe of “Grilled Sirloin Steaks”.

You see, nothing exciting, not even steakmarinaded in coca cola, just wacked in a basket and grilled for a few mins either side.

The secret to great BBQ steaks when cooking in a basket is to place them with fat side facing out of the basket. This way, once the meat itslef is cooked, you can place the basket on the side (see the picture) and then crisp up the fat.

A simple BBQ recipe but man, it tastes good. Hope you enjoy it… tonight we are going even more back to basics with a basket for of bangers and burgers. Pics to follow!

Have a great Easter BBQ fans and don’t forget to take pics of your own BBQ’s and send them in.

Basic Cookery Course

Now this may a bit basic for some of you more experience BBQ grillers but I found a really funky basic cookery course that I wanted to give a little plug to.

One of the things that has really helped me get to grips with some of the more tricky BBQ recipes is the fact that I did a basica catering course and trained for several months under a really awesome grill chef.

When thinking about how this site can help people I thought it would be a good idea to try and find some funky basic cooking courses, not necessarily about BBQ’ing, but some of the general things you should know about food prep and recipes etc.

My favourite, and the UK’s best gift experience site, IntoTheBlue.co.uk has a load of cooking courses worth trying out but the Cooking for Fun Course in Suffolk looks a real bargain and a great laugh.

Here is the write up from the site:

These Cooking for Fun courses take place in a renowned cookery school in Hadleigh, near the Essex border of Suffolk and you’ll be learning from the owner and chef, Mark David.

Mark David has exceptionally wide experience, including hotel and outside catering and corporate events. He spent three years as an Egon Ronay inspector and a further year as restaurant manager at Robert Carrier’s acclaimed Hintlesham Hall hotel. He now runs his own cookery school and is a regular author and broadcaster on all matters culinary. His light-hearted, unpretentious approach has earned the description of being a cross between Tommy Cooper and Geoff Capes – but of course with much greater cooking skills than both those two characters combined!

At just £149.00 it represents a reallygood day.
