SUMMEROF sizzle Your guide to grills by Joe Campbell THE RIVER SUMMER 2015 FOOD DRINK 11 hen the sun comes out we like to take our worlds outside from lunching on the grass in the local park or drinking out by the river in the evening. If you have ever tried cooking a barbecue when the rain starts you will know why it really is a summer sport - and barbecuing indoors is even less fun But when the sun is out and the sky is clear it really is a great time to stoke up those coals fire-up that barbie and get cooking. Grilled meats over smoking wood have a flavour that just cannot be achieved in the modern spatially-challenged kitchen. But there are some places you can go that will happily and expertly do it for you. Whatever your preference barbecued meats kebabs or burgers cooked outdoors by yourself or in the hands of a professional we have taken a look at some of the best options in and around the area. DO IT YOURSELF Where to get your BBQ During the summer almost every supermarket has stacks of disposable barbecue trays which are fine for spur of the moment or park-based cooking. But for a longer lasting free standing barbecue then you will need to look online and either get one delivered or find the nearest supplier as the usual garden centres are not so easily found in central London. Where to get your produce Borough Market or a great local butcher is always preferred and they often have grilling packs of food ready made up with a mix of burgers kebabs and ribs. Tips for cooking Dont think about doing it indoors or even on your balcony it never ends well The small disposable BBQs can be tricky and not especially hot so dont overload them and do stand them on their foldout legs if they have them it helps the coal tray drop from the grill and prevents the meat tasting of petroleum. Marinade or not to marinade Personally I prefer a classic flavour of good quality meat and veg just well-seasoned with salt and pepper and let the coals add the rest of flavour. If you do go for some additional flavours remember that too much will drip into the coals and smoke like a joke. The BBQ will never go out of fashion as a social event SUMMEROF sizzle Your guide to grills by Joe Campbell THE RIVER SUMMER 2015 FOOD DRINK 11 hen the sun comes out we like to take our worlds outside from lunching on the grass in the local park or drinking out by the river in the evening.
