Galor Top Tips for the perfect BBQ

Galor Top Tips for the perfect BBQ

Temperature is key, the high heat of the BBQ ensures that the meat is sealed with all the juices inside. During the cook the less playing with the meat the better.

Use a tongs to turn the meat and avoid stabbing the meat with knives or forks.

Avoid putting the meat on the grill until the coals stop smoldering, the best time is when the coals are grey-white in colour.

Good BBQ meat needs to have a layer of fat on it. Lots of marbling helps the meat stay tender. When choosing your fillet of fish the rule is: nothing under 200g.

Never grill cold meet direct from the fridge, the meat should be at room temperature. This prevents shocking the meat.

Don't compromise on the quality of the meat, the roasting enhances the taste so when the meat is not of good quality the roasting will do it no favors!.

Get creative this Easter season!

Photo of Terri by Haydn Cattach http://haydncattach.com/ It’s nearly Easter time! When we think of Easter, we inevitably think of eggs… and chocolate. In the 19th century, traditional gifts of hand painted eggs and delicious egg-y cakes were given but have since been replaced by incredibly fancy decorative Fabergé eggs, and later, the tasty shop-bought chocolate egg. Now, the supermarket shelves are stacked with chocolate Easter eggs, but have you ever thought of making your own?

This Easter, treat your friends and family to some original hand-made chocolate gifts.

Our gifted chocolatier, Terri, presents fun and hands-on Easter egg making workshops.  Originally from Australia, Terri is an artisan pastry chef and chocolatier who has worked internationally with some of the world’s best chefs. In these intimate lessons you will learn how to temper chocolate, create chocolate designs and decorate Easter eggs like a pro.  Make your very own Easter egg to give as a gift or to keep for yourself. So what are you waiting for? Contact us now to book Terri.

We got "saucy" with Samsung

Our project with Samsung Galor personal chef service At Galor personal chef service we have a great talent bank of highly skilled demonstration chefs for food festivals, outdoors and indoor cookery events, private & corporate events, PR and much more. Demonstration chefs are perfect for all types of occasions and in-home demonstrations are a delicious new kind of entertainment experience. Galor’s demonstration chefs will create a glorious meal right before your eyes that is then served to you at your table to enjoy. Hugh, one of our demonstration chefs, trained enthusiastic amateurs employed by Samsung. He describes his experience here: "It is a real treat for me as a chef to be able to travel and train other chefs.   The opportunity to train enthusiastic amatuer chefs employed by Samsung in  the public setting of Harrods is another level of teaching, but I love a challenge. Each of the students absorbed the 5 cookery lessons with gusto and are now  applying their new cookery skills to those of successful sales associates. I put together a training plan that can be adapted and expanded to be used in 2014  and beyond." The feedback was fantastic. “We were thrilled with Hugh’s performance and we will definitely will useing  Galor in the future” Robin Forsyth Head of Retail Sales and Operations at Samsung Electronics
