These came from a grandmother to one of the girls in our youth group. She was born in Belgium and this is her family recipe – they are rich and lovely. I use splenda now for the recipe as my son is diabetic, but it works with sugar beautifully too. These are the ones you only eat once a year! Great as dessert waffles too!

This is served everywhere you go in France & Belgium, particularly on the coast. However I most recently ate this at ‘La Grande Braderie’ in Lille where it is the specialty dish, it was fantastic! For the chips I have used my own recipe for chips as I a) prefer them and b) they are much healthier! Traditionally the ‘frites’ would be deep fried. I hope you enjoy the recipe!
This is a delicious wintery soup, based on my recipe for Hutsepot, a traditional Belgian dish. Very nice with some homemade bread!
This is my tweaked version of a recipe taken from my very old and well worn copy of The Good Housekeeping Cookbook. This is said to be a very old and traditional recipe in Belgium. I think it has the best flavor when a dark beer is used. Also, the original recipe I have called for 8 large onions. I scaled the onions back a bit! Carbonnade of Beef is delicious served with cooked noodles, hot cooked rice or mashed potatoes.
