“Don’t overcomplicate it! Get really good quality meat – steak, burgers, sausages, even monkfish and salmon work well. There are so many interesting flavours you can turn into marinades.”

“For successful barbecuing, invest in a little digital meat thermometer.
“One of the little probe types, it will not cost more than €10-20 and you will never have to worry about half-raw chicken from the barbecue again. If you are a bit uncertain about how to cook the perfect steak, this will also be a godsend.
"These gorgeous spicy koftas are a lovely alternative to the usual burger. These are great made with minced lamb, but if you want a healthier version use lower-fat beef mince as I have here."

“When barbecuing starchy veg such as potatoes or pumpkin or even squash, ensure to parboil it so that it's about 3/4 cooked, then coat in a little oil and salt and char on the BBQ. This makes for a wonderful side dish.
“Don't be afraid to use a frying pan on a barbeque when grilling some smaller items like smaller oyster mushrooms - it's a nice trick to avoid food falling in between the grills.
“One of our favourite veg cooked on the barbeque is grilled courgettes - by barbequing them it accentuates their sweetness. Just slice into thin 1/2 cm steps lengthwise, coat in a little oil and salt and lightly char on each side on the BBQ - enjoy!”
