Rich Man’s Hamburgers

This came from “The Great Big Burger Book,” by Jane Murphy and Liz Yeh Singh. It makes a rich and tasty splurge of a hamburger. This would also be good served with a mustard-horseradish sauce. An English recipe brought across the ocean to end up in the Northeast and Mid Atlantic states.

Moules Marinieres – Belgian Mussels

Mussels taste of the sea and a quick and easy to cook. I was always told to drink a glass or 2 of wine when eating mussels – why? I don’t know.

Belgian Mussels

Another typical Belgian dish! It can be eaten in almost any restaurant during the mussel season. This absolutely has to be served with Belgian fries!

Stoofvlees (Belgian Beef Stew)

This is a real Belgian recipe, there are many ways of making it, but this is one I came up with and changed it along the way. It has a rich, sweet sauce and absolutely tastes wonderful! Serve with french fries and apple sauce

Packs a Wallop Beef Stew!

This stew is spicy! If you need to reduce the amount of pepper in the seasoning mix, that’s okay, or you can serve each portion with a dollop of sour cream, at room temperature, as a cooling topping. Delicious! The British made lots of beef stews, and then Chef Paul Prudhomme added some extra spice!
