Piccalilly or Belgian pickles

Piccalilli (also called pickles in Belgium) is a pickled mixture of vegetables, such as gherkins, silver onions, cauliflower, carrots or celeriac. The acid used is a mixture of vinegar and mustard, which gives it a fresh taste.

Piccalilli is originally an English product, which is eaten with beans and stews, but also on bread. It is also used as French fries sauce. The bright yellow color usually comes from turmeric root.

In Belgium, ready-to-eat pickles in glass jars were introduced around 1886 by Devos Lemmens. Source: Wikipedia

Xavier Van Hecke

Chef Xavier Van Hecke describes his kitchen as a fairly classic kitchen with which variants of vegetarian dishes are prepared. It processes 70% vegetables and 30% fish or meat. He works very closely with his greengrocer.

He also obtains the other products locally within a maximum radius of 50 km, with the exception of the fish he searches for in the rivers or in the North Sea as far as Denmark.

Chef Xavier Van Hecke gets his inspiration mainly from classic cuisine. He has his own version of chicory with ham and cheese in the oven. He replaces the ham with finely chopped pumpkin in which he turns the chicory and instead of a bechamel sauce he makes an espuma of bechamel over which he sprinkles abbey cheese.
