Potato and Leek Pancake

Adapted from “Everybody Eats Well In Belgium” by Ruth van Waerebeek, this pancake can be lunch or brunch or a wonderful appetizer.

Crispy Potatoes and Leeks

These become tender and soft in the oven, and are finished off under the broiler to crip them up! Adapted from Cooking Pleasures magazine. Potatoes and leeks were used throughout Europe and are considered Irish, Russian and Southern USA foods.

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!
