A
great way to enjoy the winter chill is to host a fun get together with family and friends. After all isn’t this the perfect time to showcase your expertise at cooking? A pleasantly cold weather is the only motivation you need to plan a barbecue party and share not only the food but warmth too. Moreover, a unique theme to the party can make the gathering festive and memorable for all. Here’s what to do to make your winter barbecue an annual event.
Guest list and seating The best thing about a BBQ is that you can invite more people than you can for a formal sit-down dinner. A great way to provide more seating for your guests is to bring those patio chairs inside if you have space as you really don’t need a table for a BBQ party. You can also invite all those friends, neighbours and relatives whom you have not seen for some time as it’s easier to manage food for many people in a BBQ. Just be sure the adults have a seat to settle into with their plate of food. If you have an extra room, bring in your outdoor table and chairs to offer extra seating. Barbecuing is a not only a social activity but it also brings out the cook in the most unexpected of people, with men readily taking charge.
Get the equipment You can prepare the food for your party in two ways. The first is to use your outdoor BBQ grill, but remember to dress warmly and leave the grill covered while you cook to keep the heat
