Last week I was asked by Rebecca to do a guest post about traditional “Dutch” food


I'm 43 years old dad, father of 2 boys,and husband of a lovely wife.
I like to photograph,cooking and grilling year round.love to cook with the kids.
I start the blog http://broadcastmarc-grilladventures.blogspot.com/  in april 2010 after reading about outdoor cooking.
We love to do things outdoor and enjoying it very much, and will share this adventure with other people around the world.


In the Netherlands we eat a lot of potatoʼs with all kind of vegetables, like
fennel,cauliflower,leek and off course Brussels-sprouts.

Now this is a typical “Dutch” healthy dish.Itʼs full of vitamins.

I made a nice stew of the Brussels-sprouts with potato and bacon.
