Unexpected gifts and delicious meals to share this Christmas
The holiday season is approaching and some of us have not yet bought all our gifts or chosen what meal we will enjoy with our family… Is this your case? Don’t worry, BBQ Québec is here for you!
We asked three of our employees to take on a challenge: suggest products to offer as gifts and cook a BBQ recipe using them; just to prove the effectiveness of each of them. It didn't take long for them all to put on their aprons and come back with delicious recipes! If they ever manage to convince you like they did with us, don't worry, we won't tell if you keep the gifts for yourself 😉.
Without further ado, here is what our experts advise you:
Pierre-Luc
For Pierre-Luc, our sales representative and creator of the All-in-1, small gifts are often the most practical, and, what's more, they fit very well in a Christmas stocking!
First of all, according to him, no pantry is complete without the California spices and Texas from BBQ Quebec which both go with almost everything, especially meats. Also, Pierre-Luc emphasizes that any BBQ fan should have a thermometer on hand to check the cooking of food; he therefore recommends the Thermomax Jr. for the precision of its data and the fact that it can indicate the temperature in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit!
Otherwise, at Pierre-Luc's, Christmas is not celebrated around a turkey, but a chicken ! Indeed, is there anything better than a chicken basted in a homemade sauce? We doubt it, especially after reading his recipe here! 🤤
Clement
As an advisor at the Boucherville store, Clément is always on the lookout for new products and loves to test them and offer his favorites to his customers. Just like Pierre-Luc's, the products chosen by Clément make excellent little all-purpose gifts.
A great discovery for Clément this year was the Quebec sauce La Poche Bleue which is excellent with meats, raclettes and fondues (which are all meals that we eat frequently during the holidays 😉). Otherwise, if you are looking for something stronger in the mouth, Clément strongly suggests the gourmet Chipotle hot sauce from Damn! , which goes well with all kinds of grilled meats. As for spices, it is the Jamaican Jerk spices from BBQ Québec that conquered Clément's palate with their spicy and slightly sweet taste. Otherwise, Clément also mentioned to us that having a thermometer in your BBQ kit is a must! For him, the Thermomax is what you need, because it is foldable, fast and waterproof.
On the recipe side, Clément cooked a chicken taco that can be mild or spicy, depending on the sauce used. We let you discover his delicious creation here. 😍
Melanie
In the case of Mélanie, the assistant manager of the Montreal store, the choice was not complicated: no one says no to a pizza, especially if it is homemade! So she chose to offer you items that will allow you to succeed with your pizza every time!
The first essential item that Melanie recommends is the BBQ Québec pizza stone that goes on the BBQ (because yes, we all want to find the little taste of smoke on our pizzas!) and which is perfect for making artisanal pizzas. Then, to easily transport your pizza from the BBQ to the table, Mélanie advises you to use the BBQ Québec pizza spatula . Designed with a long handle, you can easily move your pizza from one place to another while protecting your hands from the heat. Then, once your pizza is ready, all you have to do is cut it into slices, and for that, Mélanie suggests you use the BBQ Québec pizza cutter , which is very effective.
In the rare event that you're looking to please someone who isn't a pizza fan, Melanie has a few other options for you: Sugar Daddy Bacon's #Chicoracha! sauce , a spicy sauce that's perfect for both the taste buds and the novices (which, by the way, is a limited edition sauce, so don't miss out!); and the books Lavoie du BBQ and BBQ au Max , which are ideal for introducing new recipes to any BBQ king!
For her recipe, you guessed it, Mélanie concocted a pizza ! Although she doesn't use #Chicoracha sauce in her recipe, feel free to pour a few drops on your pizza if you like spicy sauces! Come on, we'll let you discover her tasty plum, prosciutto and honey pizza here; you clearly won't be able to take just one slice! 💯
With all these gift ideas and meal ideas, BBQ Québec wishes you a Merry Christmas filled with beautiful moments and delicious dishes! 😉 Happy BBQing to all! 🔥
