Memorial Day means the start of a lot of sunshiny things: donning white shoes and pale linen, dusting off the barbecue, and celebrating a season of outdoor federal holidays. In other words, it’s the unofficial start of summer. So — even if the weather outside doesn’t seem like grilling weather yet — here are some seasonal barbecuing tips from Culinate.

• Plan ahead, both for the type of grilling you’re planning and the menu
• Consider unconventional foods to grill, such as pizza or fruit
• Play it safe, for yourself and the environment, and
• Be sure you’ve got good grilling technique, either for a gas grill or a charcoal grill.

Party on!
