House Favourites

Although the official national dish in Flanders is the famous “Gentse Waterzooi” and Mussels with Fries,  to my pleasant surprise, the Bolognese sauce is I think the number one house favourite amongst the locals here.

 Gentse Waterzooi & Mussels with Fries

The famous Spaghetti Bolognese

Our weekly menu is usually made up of (70-30%) of Flemish and asian dishes. N has no taste nor cravings for anything asian at all, N’s taste bud is completely Dutch (got it from B side of the family). N loves cheese and milk, Spaghetti Bolognese and any dish that serves vegetables (usually Broccollies or Cauliflower), side of potatoes and a piece of meat! Everytime I dish out anything remotely other than  “Flemish” food, I have to cook a separate dish for N. Thus, sometimes I am not at all motivated with cooking dishes from home (the far east). Since I despise cooking and since our house cook – B - has to work such long hours – I have no choice than to take over this stressful duty! And although many food blogs has become a source of inspiration for me especially those with idiot proof instructions and recipes, these books have become my weekly bible to cooking!
