Halloween is a celebration that’s becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. It’s the perfect occasion to gather with family and friends, decorate your home with spooky decorations, and most importantly: cook and enjoy delicious food!
In this blog post, we’ll share the origins of the holiday, some fun Halloween recipes, and tips to make your home and garden spookily cozy.
Halloween originally comes from the Celtic festival of Samhain, marking the end of summer and the beginning of winter. It was traditionally a harvest festival celebrated in countries like Ireland. On the evening of October 31st, also known as All Hallows' Eve, people believed that the spirits of the deceased would visit them. To scare these spirits away, they wore masks and costumes.
Halloween is the perfect time to transform your home and garden into a spooky place. With a bit of creativity, you can create a festive atmosphere with pumpkins, spider webs, and other decorations. It’s the perfect setting for preparing your Halloween treats on the BBQ. Organize a cozy evening with friends and family, where everyone cooks, eats, and dresses up as their favorite horror character.
Here are some delicious recipes you can make with your CADAC | Dometic BBQ, perfect for a Halloween party!
A fun and easy way to get into the Halloween spirit is with pumpkin pizza. Use ready-made pizza dough, slice pumpkin into thin pieces, and grill them on your BBQ. Top the pizza with tomato sauce, cheese, the grilled pumpkin, and other favorite toppings. This dish is not only tasty but also perfect to make with the kids.
One-pot dishes are always handy, and for Halloween, you can give it a special twist. Cook pasta in a large pan on the CADAC Dometic BBQ and add chipolata sausages. Cut the sausages into pieces so they look like "fingers" and mix them with a rich tomato sauce and vegetables. This dish is simple, quick, and perfect for a spooky meal!
You can do the same with this tasty stew. Cut the sausages into pieces—thanks to the sauce, they look like bloody fingers! Serve it in a large pan on the BBQ, and use Halloween-themed tableware to make the meal even more fun.
Finish the meal with a delicious dessert: bloody cherry tarts. Make small tarts filled with cherries. When you cut them open, the cherry juice flows out, turning the tarts into "bloody" cherry tarts. This dessert not only looks spooky but is also the perfect ending to a Halloween dinner.
Besides cooking and eating, games are a great way to make your Halloween party a big success. Think of traditional games like bobbing for apples or telling spooky stories around a fire pit in the garden.
So, put on your costume, fire up the BBQ, and let the spooky fun begin! Make this Halloween an unforgettable experience filled with delicious treats, fun games, and the warmth of being together in a cozy, spooky garden.
