How to nail a summer barbecue

It’s high summer, which means barbecue season is officially upon us. An excellent time of year – until it comes your turn to host and you’re tasked with donning an apron and manning the grill. But rather than viewing the role of grill guardian as a burden, reframe it as an honour: this is a chance to show off your skills and treat your friends and family to a mouthwatering meal (or at the very least, something more elevated than bog-standard burnt burgers). To help you up your grilling game, we’ve enlisted the expert guidance of meat maestro Richard H. Turner, a restaurateur and meat merchant. Follow his simple pointers and you can’t go wrong.
