Winter BBQ
Fire and smoke in midwinter, in the garden at ’t Speelhof. The edition where the sharing started.
The first Wintermoods stood in the winter garden of ’t Speelhof in Sint-Truiden. The fire outside, the long tables inside, and guests walking between the two all evening.
A barbecue in December sounds like a mistake until you try one. The meat went on the grill in rounds and came to the table fresh from the fire, with winter sides that kept arriving. Nobody ordered anything; it simply came.
That is what stayed, and what every edition since has carried: food that goes round the table instead of being counted per head. Winter BBQ is no longer a past edition but one of the three formulas.
