To brine or not to brine… De hamvraag bij uitstek de afgelopen dagen. Of tenminste “de kalkoenvraag bij uitstek”. Met Thanksgiving vliegen de kalkoenen duidelijk de deur uit! Figuurlijk dan want ver zullen ze uit zichzelf niet meer geraken. Ik ben niet zo van de […]
Het aantal keer dat ik al nachos maakte op de BBQ kan ik ondertussen al niet meer op één hand tellen. En telkens opnieuw komt het er niet van om er een blogpost over te maken… Nachos maak je namelijk om te eten in gezelschap. […]
De zonnestralen prikkelen steeds meer mensen de BBQ aan te steken. Afgelopen weekend kon je niet buitenkomen of de geur van brandende kolen sloeg in je neus! Ik geef toe met 4 sessies op 3 dagen ben ik mee verantwoordelijk! Heb je binnenkort een feestje […]
Have you heard of France’s wonderful Cannard a l’orange? If you do I bet you must be as fond of it as I am. Time for a BBQ version isn’t it? The smokey orange glazed duck breast is my twist on this classic. With a […]

Best thing about summer are the BBQ and cocktail parties! When both come together it’s even better! But don’t bring yourself in a difficult position by serving loads of meat before you start the Main course! It’s a pitty if your guests are fullfilled when […]
While sitting in France I’m writing down this recipe about Vietnamese Meatballs! The BBQ Bastard goes multicultural. The idea for this recipe came after a visit to the superb restaurant Bun! in Antwerp (Belgium). The meal we got served over there was awesome. I realised […]
Best part of summer is having some time off from work! Two weeks enjoying the good life even more than the other days. We’re heading to France this year. However France is a great country I prefer the italian kitchen. To celebrate the Italian food […]
