Stewed Veal in a Cream and Lemon Sauce
This recipe is from the ‘Compleat Housewife’ written in 1729. It is a most satisfying and delicate dish, and is traditionally served with plain, boiled, fluffy rice.
Breakfast in Bread
This is so yummy, not to mention pretty! Adapted from Better Homes & Gardens magazine. A European recipe(English and French), also much enjoyed in the Northeast!
Waterzooi of Chicken
From Ruth Van Waerebeek’s “Everyone Eats Well in Belgium Cookbook.” Don’t be turned off by the unusual name; it’s Dutch in origin (pronounced VAH-ter-zoy); it’s basically a hearty chicken and vegetable soup/stew thing, with a deliciously rich and creamy broth. (I tell the kids that it’s Belgian Chicken Soup, and they love it.) It’s not hard to make at all, and great for entertaining since it can be prepared almost entirely ahead of time.
Spicy Mango Ginger Chutney
Here is a good recipe for chutney posted by request. This has a nice gingery flavor. Great with rice and Indian curries! Chutneys are very popular in England too.
Belgian Endive and Beetroot Salad
My mother used to make endive salad (witlof salade) in different ways; I thought I share them with you. She used to use mayonnaise but I usually use the sour cream. I would think you can use your own favorite dressing on this but I would suggest you make it a creamy one. Use as much dressing on this as you like, the 3 tablespoons are just a guide line. I sometimes cheat and buy the beets in a jar! The amount of this salad depends on the size of the endive and the beets.
