Our top five food project ideas are here to inspire you to cook something amazing this bank holiday weekend.
Whether you want to burn some coals for American BBQ, make your own sparkling wine or cheese, grow Japanese shiso leaf or cook a Korean feast, you'll find all the inspiration and kit you need.
1. Cook 'low n slow'
Bring the American Deep South to your garden this summer with American BBQ, like ProQ. The classics are pulled pork shoulder, ribs and beef brisket. Cook ‘low ‘n’ slow’ on your ProQ Frontier Elite 3in1 BBQ smoker – anywhere from 4 to 24 hours of cooking over a low heat, in a smoke-filled chamber.
Tempt neighbours with aromatic hickory and oak. It’s a style of cooking that makes tough cuts delicious and is brilliant for sharing with family and friends.
If you would like to embark on your own American BBQ journey or find our what size smoker you need, check out our Top 10 Expert Tips for American BBQ and What Size of Smoker Do I Need? to help you get started.
3. Make cheese
Homemade halloumi, you say? Our customer favourite, The Ultimate Cheese Making Kit, is a great bank holiday project for cheese fanatics. You can make your own mozzarella, paneer and five other cheeses.
4. Grow something instead of going to the shops
There’s no need to spend hours hunting down that hard-to-find herb or vegetable again with these cute and colourful seeds from Piccolo. We 24+ varieties available!
5. Cook a Korean feast
Try one of our favourite ways to entertain friends: cooking a Korean feast. Make plenty of small dishes: hot-sour kimchi, soy-seasoned vegetables pungent with raw garlic and sesame oil, sweet and fiery gochujang sauce for quick-fried beef or tofu and lettuce wraps.
You can cater for meat eaters and vegans alike (just make sure you make your kimchi is made with soy sauce and miso paste instead of fish sauce). Korean food is thrilling to explore.
And the easiest way to get started is with this Authentic Korean Cooking Kit, pairing all the Korean ingredients you need to get started, along with a great Korean cookbook.
