Hopefully you’ve had a chance to view our new series of cooking tips videos on the FitBrits channel.

It was a nasty knife accident that prompted me to make a video on how to use a knife safely, and since then, I’ve uploaded another tips video about high fibre foods (making good use of the green screen)!!!

It would be great to hear your feedback on what you think of our first couple of videos for the cooking tips series, so please leave a comment below, or on the comments page for each video (on YouTube) and let us know what you think.

You can see the first couple of videos in the series below, enjoy…

Summer’s almost here and we can see you’re starting to check out our ‘Cooking on the BBQ’ guide.

I also blew the cobwebs off the barbecue this weekend for the first time in 2011 to cook a full-English.  If you thought you couldn’t beat a fry-up at the weekend, try it on the BBQ – you really can’t get better than that!

Anyway, I thought I’d divulge my top 3 tips for cooking on the barbecue in order to impress your guests, starting with the most important:

  1. Grilling should only be conducted with a beer in hand!
  2. Marinade your meats. You can make a simple marinade out of Beer/Tinned Tomatoes, Herbs, Garlic, Salt & Pepper.
  3. Make your own Burgers. They taste SO much better, and, it really doesn’t bear thinking about what goes into them, especially when you see how much drips out of them when their being cooked. Here is a recipe for Homemade Beef Burgers.

I hope I’ve provided some inspiration to get out in the garden and start grilling.

The British Summer is on it’s way, enjoy it while it lasts!

I guarantee that if it wasn’t for lack of time, knowledge and the proper cookware more people would try their luck at cooking.
