Autumn’s Harvest Stew
I had no idea what to call this new concoction. Someone hinted at ‘Autumn Meditation‘. I liked that. If anything, making a stew is really zen and meditative. It’s a slow process; the slower it’s cooked the better. Not to mention all the chopping involved. Now this is a fairly basic and straight-forward stew. In my world that means good-quality beef, an awful lot of fresh vegetables and eventually a…
Hachee
More Dutch food that you won’t find in many restaurants! This here is a typical Dutch winter stew. Kinda like the Dutch version of Boeuf Bourguignon.

The sweetness of the cranberries is…
Stoofvlees Part II
Stoofvlees part II. Part I can be found right here. Sure it was a little cruel to leave you hanging for a full day, but the meat had to marinate! Okay, so I got a little kick out of it as well. What can I say? I have a cruel streak! Time to cook up a storm now, though! Let me make it up to you.
