Marinades to savour

Sometimes all you need is a bit of salt and pepper to season a stunning steak - but there are loads of flavours you can add to meats and vegetables. Lemon, garlic and herbs go brilliantly with chicken and fish, whilst chilli and paprika give a welcomed kick to halloumi and vegetables.

Keep it safe!

No one wants to be responsible for wiping out the whole squad with a bout of food poisoning! So, make sure you keep all your meat in the fridge or a well-chilled cool box. Don't just guess if a piece of meat is cooked - a meat thermometer will tell you exactly when you've reached juicy perfection. You can pick one up for under a tenner and we guarantee it'll leave a (grill) mark on your cooking.

Perfect puds

Looking for a quick and easy pudding to end your meal? Wrap bananas in tin foil with a few chocolate buttons and a splash of your favourite tipple, and throw them onto the dying embers of the coals. Or why not toast big marshmallows and sandwich them between a pair of biscuits for some very moreish s'mores!
