Belgium Cooking Lesson



Meet my good friend, Marleen. We spend time walking the back roads, paths, and cow trails, of Belgium. As we walk, she patiently helps me with my Flemish and also with my life here in general. She explains how the schools work (since she is a teacher, she knows everything about them), she donates her childrens' "outgrown" toys for my childrens' entertainment, and she helps me find the best bakeries, dentists, hair dressers, (not that I have been brave enough to call them yet), etc. We both enjoy cooking and talking about food and since I really want to learn some authentic Belgian dishes, she suggested that she teach me how to make witloof. It was a very enjoyable afternoon! The witloof was yummy.
