Seafood Barbecue Boil

Melissa Thompson Cooks From Her New Cookbook, Fired Up

For episode 2 of our YouTube Chef series, I was lucky enough travel down to London and spend a couple of days cooking with food writer, live fire chef and celebrated author Melissa Thompson, who we're lucky enough to call both a customer of Love Logs as well as a friend.


Melissa and I cooked in her garden for a couple of days... well, she cooked and I was a willing sous chef, recipe tester and school run helper!


First up we cooked her Seafood Barbecue Boil which you can find in her new book, Fired Up. Seafood is one of the more challenging things to cook on a BBQ and something I absolutely need to cook more of, so I was super excited to watch Melissa pull this one together.

The best way to support writers like Melissa is usually to buy their books on Amazon, where getting into the Amazon top sellers list means more promotion for their books.


You can find Fired Up here.


Next up in the Chef Series is another close friend of Love Logs, DJ BBQ aka Christian Stevenson. As usual Christian brought his unique combination of flair and fire cooking, so watch this space!
