Cooking meat, much like an artist with a canvas, is an effort in creativity. From sectioning to trimming, and from grilling to basting, a good cook-out chef is one that knows their tools and isn’t afraid to push the boundaries of the possible. Flavourful, balanced and easy to execute, marinades are a quick-fix solution to any pre-cookout preparation and are some of the most valuable tools in a chef’s repertoire.
