PIET VEREECKE

Piet has been working at the Belgian Pork Group since 2006. He started at Westvlees as a production manager before moving to Lovenfosse, where he was appointed coordinator of the Human Resource Business Partners in 2016. These days, however, he is working slightly closer to home as Plant Manager at Van Bogaert. He enjoys spending his Sunday afternoons in the kitchen. This recipe demands quite a bit of preparation, but you will be more than willing to make the effort once you experience the same cosy moments that Piet enjoys with his children over a plate of this delicious dish. It always takes him back to the cosy kitchen table of his youth!
