These grilled zucchini's show up at nearly every BBQ that I organise. The fresh taste of the feta cheese and the mint pair perfectly with nearly every piece of meat or fish, but in particular with lamb. This dish can also be the main star at a vegetarian BBQ. Do you dislike mint in your food? Fresh basil or oregano are great replacements!

Hi there! I am Pieter from Antwerp (Belgium) and welcome to my foodblog! As an avid foodie I do not only enjoy dining out but also love cooking myself. Through "zot van smaak" I wish to share my own recipes with the rest of the world and also want to challenge myself to create new recipes and flavor combinations.
On this website you can expect a variety of recipes. I don't like to limit myself to a certain cuisine so you can expect many dishes that use flavors and spices from all over the world.
