Korean Chili BBQ
Add some excitement to your BBQ with these Korean chicken kebabs. Marinate the chicken in a mixture of ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce, then thread them onto skewers and grill until perfectly cooked. Brush them with a sweet, sour, and spicy glaze for a flavor explosion. Don’t forget to sprinkle spring onions on top for a pop of color and freshness. Serve them with a side of mozzarella cheese-stuffed grilled cheese sandwiches.
How To Make
- Toss the chicken with ginger, sesame oil, and soy sauce to start the recipe. Each thigh should be strung on metal skewers, with one side of each skewer piercing the leg. Continue threading the chicken, packing it securely onto the skewers as you go. Until you’re ready to cook, chill and have fun. The glaze’s components should be combined.
- Heat the grill. When using a charcoal BBQ, wait until the embers have turned ashen before beginning to cook. On each side, cook the kebab for 5-8 minutes (depending on the heat). Start painting the glaze once the food is properly blackened but not yet cooked through. The trick to good sticky chicken is spreading the glaze in layers and rotating the kebab frequently because if the honey is heated for too long, it will catch.
- After the glaze has been consumed and the chicken is thoroughly cooked (this will take about 20 minutes), transfer it to a plate, let it cool for five minutes, and then serve it with spring onions on the side for the wow factor and good food styling.

Fresh Salad
Impress your guests with this vibrant and refreshing salad that requires no cooking. Combine fresh summer veggies like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and radishes with spinach and beans. Sprinkle avocados, feta, and herbs on top, then drizzle with a dressing made from lemon juice, olive oil, and just the right amount of sour cream. It’s the perfect accompaniment to grilled shrimp or rotisserie chicken.
How To Make
- With the exception of a few herb leaves for the salad recipe, combine all the ingredients for the dressing in a food processor. You can also finely chop them. The dressing can be prepared up to 24 hours before serving.
- Place the spinach and beans on a big plate. Toss lightly with your hands after placing the mango, tomatoes, cucumber, onion, and radishes on top. The recipe calls for avocados, feta, and herbs to be sprinkled on top of the salad before a dressing is added. You may also add shrimp or fresh seafood or sausage bits for the non-vegan guests.

Fruit Drizzle Cake
Indulge in a delectable fruit drizzle cake that’s incredibly easy to make. Choose your favorite fruits like fresh berries or even avocado, and incorporate them into a moist and flavorful cake batter. Bake it to perfection and then top it off with a sweet fruit drizzle made from citrus juice and crushed fruit. Enjoy a slice of this cake with a glass of chilled white wine.
How To Make
- Oven: 180°C/160°F fan/gas 4. To start this recipe, a long strip of baking paper should be used to line the base and ends of a 900g/2lb loaf pan. Combine the caster sugar, butter, eggs, flour, and vanilla essence in a large basin. Using an electric hand mixer, beat the ingredients for 5 minutes until they are pale and creamy. The batter will be extremely thick.
- 50g of the fruit (even avocado) should be distributed over one-third of the cake batter recipe in the baking pan. Sprinkle another 50g of fruit (even avocado) on top after carefully dotting and spreading another 1/3 of the cake batter on top. Then, gently distribute the remaining cake mix over the top using the back of a spoon. Until a skewer is inserted and removed cleanly, bake for one hour.
- Use a skewer to poke holes all over the cake in the bread pan. Place the remaining 75g of fruit (even avocado) and the sugar in a bowl. With a fork, stir in 1 tbsp of the citrus juice, slightly crushing the fruit as you go. Add a little extra liquid if it seems a little dry, then pour it over the cake. Let the tasty cake rest in the bread pan. For the wow factor, wait until it has cooled and the topping is crisp and firm.
