TOP 10 | Charcoal Grilling Tips for Beginners

Let’s face it: Parents and whims go hand in hand. First cooking over an open fire requires a certain level of chaos control that parents are no strangers to. Second fire like toddlers can be unpredictable. But if you’re prepared and have a plan you can handle just about anything whether it’s behind the grill or in parenthood.

I want to make it clear that this doesn’t just apply to dads. In fact in my household we challenge the outdated narrative that grilling is a man’s domain and I’m proud to say that I am my family’s number one grillmaster (and I hope more moms will follow my lead if they haven’t already).

To get a surefire path to grilling success I spoke to Yumna Jawad recipe developer mom of two and founder of Feel Good Foodie. Jawad’s new book The Feel Good Foodie Cookbook: 125 Recipes Enhanced with Mediterranean Flavors is inspired by her Lebanese heritage which includes a lot of grilling. “Grilling is such a big part of how we enjoy a lot of Lebanese recipes” she says pointing to her recipes for grilled salmon and vegetable skewers lemon-infused grilled chicken skewers Mediterranean BBQ flank steak harissa-grilled shrimp skewers and even caprese grilled pitas. Jawad shares her four top tips for busy parents who are grilling for the first time this summer.
