Cooking Class at school


I volunteered today to help with cooking class on school. As always I was the only father, but I am used to that. We cooked a real Dutch meal, mashed potatoes with vegetables and bits of backed bacon. In fact there where four different stews, “Zuurkool” (mashed potatoes with sauerkraut), “Hutspot” (mashed potatoes with onions and carrots), “Boerenkool” (mashed potatoes with kail) and “Andijvie Stampot”(mashed potatoes with endive). In some stews backed bacon is traditional and in others smoked sausage. Our group cooked “Zuurkool”.
Twan enjoys the fact that I help cooking, but he didn’t want me to wear my chef’s hat! The kids learned to peel the potatoes and cut the bacon. After this hard work it tasted good!

Hi Gerrit~

Guess what's for dinner!?! I saw some lovely yellow potatoes at the store and thought of your recipes with the mashed potatoes...picked up sauerkraut, bacon and onions to accompany the mashed potatoes. Maybe I will add blue food coloring to spice it up. hahaha. Just kidding.
