Mr ExD likes his Sunday roast with Yorkshires, and I am happy to oblige so over the years I've become an expert in the genre, even though I say it myself.
However, in this hot weather I resent spending time in a hot kitchen preparing meals like this.
Someone once told me that hotels frequently cook suck meals the night before and serve the food re-heated next day. I was assured that as long as the food reached a certain temperature (what temperature) it was safe and 'normal' in catering.
This sounds bad practise to me - any hints?

I’m astonished by people firing up the barbecue on the hottest days of the year. The temperatures soar into the 30s and folk opt to gather around a furnace in the garden.

It's only usually the caveman in the family who throws a steak on the barbie.
The rest of the family can sit at a respectable distance, perhaps throw together a salad. Better than slaving over a hot stove/oven indoors.

If anyone insists on a hot dinner, suggest they cook it themselves or perhaps put everything in the slow cooker in the morning, switch on and walk away for a few hours.
