Small, spicy, and irresistibly crisp, these vlammetjes are perfect for parties or casual nights in. They capture the balance of sweet, savory, and fiery flavors that make Dutch borrel snacks unforgettable, and they are just as easy to enjoy at home as they were at the bar.

A Taste of Home: My Oma’s Draadjesvlees Some dishes aren’t just meals—they’re memories. Every time I make draadjesvlees, I’m transported back to my Oma’s warm kitchen. The rich, savory scent of slow-braised beef filled her home. It wrapped us in comfort long before we even took the first bite. Growing up, Sunday afternoons were special.

Relive the ages-old tradition of “Jachtschotel,” a centuries-old Dutch dish. It is an amazing casserole with onions, apples, and mashed potatoes. The name translates to “Hunter’s casserole,” and was originally made with the tough cuts of meats of whatever game they hunted. It was cooked for a few hours with onions and other vegetables and then baked in a casserole with added apples and mashed potatoes. I have updated the recipe to use beef short ribs rather than pheasant or wild boar (though feel free to use them if you like!)
