BBQ season

Image
Preheat properly  If you’re going to get a good crust on your food and that BBQ flavour, you need your BBQ to be hot before you start cooking. Don’t poke  BBQ's take time. Only turn steaks or burgers once or twice. And definitely don’t squash everything down as this forces the juices to run out and leaves the meat dry. Sausages are also best left alone – piercing the skins dries them out. Remember food hygiene  Even though BBQ's are out doors and the hunter gatherer instinct will keep in remember to keep it clean. Do not mix raw and cooked food, check temperature of your food and make sure to wash your hands. Give it a rest  Let cooked meat rest on a clean plate, cover with foil, for about 10 minutes before carving so juices can redistribute evenly. Leave the BBQ to us..   We would be more than happy to look after the BBQ for you   CLICK HERE   for packages

Style in the city: How to keep it chic at your big city wedding by Lilac Rose Bridal

Image
Brides are often swayed by their choice of venue when it comes to choosing their wedding dress and we often find those who opt for a city based wedding prefer a simple, refined look when it comes to their dress - but still want to look like a bride on their big day. There are plenty of ways to create a standout sophisticated look without compromising on the bridal style stakes.              Fabric comes first. What is often missed in catalogue photos of wedding gowns is the fabric. Cameras can’t capture the way sophisticated fabrics move when walking up the aisle, sitting down, shimmying on the dancefloor et cetera, so don’t shy away from simpler gowns as sometimes it’s all about the fabric, the fit and those expert dance moves.              Accessorise with care. The right accessories can make a dress, but they can also break it. Stick to one or two statement pieces that will bring the look toge...
