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.

Learn to make #Snert: Dutch Split Pea soup. A soup so thick that your spoon will stay upright in it! Traditionally this is made with bone-in pork, and bacon; however, we don’t eat pork, so I made this recipe with #beef and chicken andouille sausage. I use an Instant Pot to make this recipe! This soup is perfect for cold winter days: it will make you feel nice and warm, and it’s very filling!! I use andouille sausage because it has a smokey flavor and adds a little bit of spice, which I really like, and it’s a great compliment to the peas and other vegetables.
