Dutch cuisine is very much influenced by the agricultural produce of the Netherlands and the country's history as a seafaring nation. Fish and seafood (including cod, eel, herring, mackerel, mussels, oysters, plaice, salmon, sardines, soleidae, shrimp, trout and tuna) are all eaten in the Netherlands. Popular meats include beef, chicken and pork.

The colonial past of the Netherlands has also had an influence on the country's cuisine. The Dutch were involved in the Dutch East Indies (Dutch: Nederlands-Indië) - present day Indonesia - for approximately 250 years, and Indonesian cuisine has left a lasting mark on the Dutch palate. Indonesian dishes such as Nasi Goreng (spicy rice with chicken or pork) have become Dutch dishes too!

Here are some other popular Dutch dishes:

- Balkenbrij - A liverwurst sausage loaf (Dutch: Leverworst) made from pork, but containing enough pork liver to have a distinctive liver-taste. The loaf is cut into slices about ½ inch (1 centimeter) thick which are then fried.

- Boerenkoolstamppot - A stew made with potato and kale. It is served with gravy and rookwurst (Dutch spicy sausage).

- Hete bliksem - Boiled potatoes and green apples, with stroop (syrup) or diced speck (juniper-flavored dry-cured ham).

- Hutspot - A traditional stew made using boiled and mashed potatoes with carrots and onions.

- Stamppot rauwe andijvie - Raw endive (a variant of chicory) mashed into potatoes, and served with diced and fried speck (juniper-flavored dry-cured ham).

- Zuurkoolstamppot - Sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) with mashed potatoes. served with sausage or bacon, and sometimes flavored with curry powder, raisins or pineapple.

Popular Dutch desserts include:

- Appeltaart - Apple pie. In the Netherlands, apple pies usually contain cinnamon, lemon and raisins, and have a lattice-style topping and icing.

- Oliebollen - The Dutch version of donuts made by deep-frying dough, allowing it to cool and rise, and covering with powdered sugar. They are eaten at fairs, and during the Christmas period, especially around New Year.

- Spekkoek - A very rich and spicy Dutch-Indonesian pastry made from many layers of pastry.

- Stroopwafel - Two round waffle-like wafers with a caramel filling between them.

How To Make Easy Slow Cook Recipes Work:

• Alter the recipes to appeal to the palates of your family members like seasonings or spices or vegetables.


• Follow instructions carefully when doing layering because some vegetables like carrots take longer to cook. Usually the ones that take the longest to cook are placed at the bottom of the crock-pot and those that cook easily are placed on top.


• Unless instructions are diligently followed, you may end up with a meal where the vegetables end up raw!

Advantages Of Healthy Slow Cooker Recipes:

1. They are very easy to handle and give you the flexibility to prepare different kinds of delicious meals for your family.

6. This type of cooking is hassle-free and safe because they involve lower temperatures and gentle heat. With a timer, it can be left unattended as well.

7. The lengthy cooking time lets the flavour get distributed better and the lesser temperature prevents the food from getting burnt or getting stuck to the bottom of the container unlike in an oven.

8. Most convenient for large gathering meals or holiday treats like a Thanksgiving dinner.

For a vegetarian slow cooker recipe, wherein the majority of ingredients are derived from non-animal sources, it can prove to be very valuable and convenient. While cooking beans or making pea-based soups and stews, these cookers are the best. Root vegetables or heavy vegetables like squash are best cooked in a crock-pot as are soups made from grains.

So many people associate venison with chili and stew, it never occurs to them that there are such things as venison oven recipes. I thought that too, and then I discovered that I could actually cook my venison inside the oven and not just on top of it.

The two best ways to cook venison in the oven are venison roasts and venison casserole. They're delicious and easy, and you almost always have leftovers. (They also make your house smell fantastic). There are many ways you can prepare roasts and casseroles, but it's good to have an old standby.

My favorite roast is Venison Salt Roast. All you have to do it get a 3 to 5 pound bag of coarse salt (table salt won't work). Mix the salt with some water so you can mold it. Put the roast in a roast dish and cover with the salt. Cook at 200 degrees until internal temperature is where you like it (yes, you'll need a cooking thermometer). How long this takes will depend on the size of your roast. I find a 3 to 4 pound roast will cook in about 90 minutes. The salt will form a hard crust around the meat. Chisel it away for the most tender roast you've ever had.

My favorite Venison Casserole harkens back to my childhood. You'll need 1 box of egg noodles, 1 lb of ground venison, 1 can to cream of mushroom soup, frozen peas, and regular potato chips. Brown the meat and cook the noodles. Then Mix everything except the chips together in a casserole dish. Crush chips and sprinkle them on top. Cook at 325 degrees for about 20 minutes.

Of course, there is much more you can do with venison in the oven. Experiment! It's fun.

Susan Rose is creator of The Hunting Widow's Guide to Great Venison Cooking, greatvenisoncooking.com, a collection of venison recipes and instructions on how to prepare venison so that it is a culinary treat. She is currently compiling the recipes for a venison cookbook and encourages people to submit recipes.

One of the best fish stew recipes I learned is this one which is an easy dish to make with fantastic taste with only a few ingredients. The clam juice is what gives this recipe the tasty results. Easy to prepare and works best with Tilapia Fish, I am pretty sure you will find this absolutely delicious!

Ingredients
6 Tbsp olive oil
1 cup of chopped onions
2 large garlic cloves, chopped
2/3 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 cup of fresh chopped tomato (about 1 medium sized tomato)
2 tsp of tomato paste.
8 oz of clam juice
2/3 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 lb Tilapia Fish fillets cut into 2-inch pieces
Touch of dry oregano, Tabasco, thyme, pepper
Salt

Method

1 Heat olive oil in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute for 4 minutes and you can also add some celery and mushroom at this point for added flavor. Add parsley and stir for 2 minutes. Add tomato and tomato paste and let cook for 2 minutes longer.

2 Add clam juice, dry white wine, and fish and simmer until the Tilapia fish is cooked through, that should be less than 10 minutes. Add seasoning. Salt to taste. Ladle into bowls and serve.

This fish stew goes well with fresh bread and i should say it's the prefect meal to compliment it. Preparing it with salad is also a great tasty idea. You can also be a little creative over this fish stew recipes as you can do things a little differently as you prefer such as increasing the amount of tomato paste. Or you can forgo the salt and substitute the clam juice with white wine for those with allergies to it, it will do but not as tasty. Or skip the tilapia fish altogether and substitute with 1 1/2 lbs of shrimp and scallops.

There is nothing better than hamburger stew on the open flames of the campfire and there are some wonderful recipes that even the least experienced cook can handle on the outdoor fire ring. Here is a recipe that any cook would love to have in their recipe files to make camping. You should first start with the perfect fire and it will make the difference in how hot the charcoals are, they will be ashy and gray. Depending on how hot the coals are will determine how fast the stew will cook. You can prepare the ingredients at home before your trip to eliminate some of the work when you get to your campsite. Chop your vegetables prior to your trip. Chop your celery, carrots, onions, and potatoes mix with salt and pepper then place in a zip lock baggy. Be sure to place them on ice or in a cooler so they do not turn brown.

Ingredients

. 1 -1/12 pound(s) ground beef
· 1 -2 c chopped carrots
. 2 celery stalks (diced)
· 1 medium onion, chopped
· 4 -5 medium potatoes, chopped
· 1 bag frozen peas
· 1 package onion soup mix
· water
· salt and pepper
· oregano or basil
· 1 loaf french or sourdough bread

Brown the meat in a large cast iron pot or dutch oven. Add the carrots, celery onions, potatoes and onion soup mix with enough water to cover. Cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes are tender (about 20-30 minutes). Slice and butter the bread. Wrap it in foil and place near the fire so that the bread will toast from the heat of the fire. Add the peas to the pot. Season to taste with salt, pepper and oregano or basil. Simmer until the peas are hot. Serve with the warm bread. Yummy, there is nothing better then campfire cooking

Another recipe that you cook on the campfire is Brunswick stew. You can also eliminate the chopping, dicing, and cutting for home prior to your camping trip.

Quinoa is a versatile and delicious ingredient and, if you like to cook meals in a slow cooker, it might interest you to know that it can be cooked via this cooking method. Quinoa can be substituted for any grain in recipes although, technically, it is not a grain itself. It is the seed from a leafy plant. This ingredient is rich in iron, fiber, potassium, protein and other vitamins and minerals, hence its recent popularity. It is easy to digest too.

This ancient crop will grow in the mountains, in dry climates or in poor soil, making it an important staple in some regions. It is grown in the Colorado Rocky Mountains and in South America, although it originated in the Andes. You can get it in big grocery stores and health food stores.

Is the Sunday family dinner dead? Few traditions are as well loved as the family Sunday dinner. But, in today's fast paced culture, are people still taking time to get the family together to enjoy a good meal on Sunday afternoon? Sure they are, and what better way to get a great meal prepared without a lot of fuss than with a slow cooker. Very popular recipes are crock pot recipes for pot roast.

But crock pots cook slowly, and your family eats their main meal early on Sunday. How can you have food ready in time? Slow cookers have a high setting that cooks the food in about four to five hours, so just as you do during the week, pop the ingredients in the slow cooker before you head off to church or whatever activity you partake in, and the food will be done when your family is ready to eat later on that day.

Since roasts are a family favorite meal for anytime, but especially on Sunday, here are a couple of easy and delicious crock pot recipes for pot roast to try.

Easy New England Pot Roast

3-4 lbs beef roast
8 small red potatoes, cut into quarters
8 medium carrots, cut into chunks
1 small onion, chopped
1 - 8 oz jar prepared horseradish
1-2 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water

Place potatoes, carrots, and onion into your crock pot. Place beef on top of vegetables. Mix horseradish, salt, pepper and 1 cup water; pour over top of beef. Cover and cook on high for 4-5 hours or until beef and vegetables are tender. Remove 2 cups of juices from slow cooker and put into small sauce pan. Mix corn starch with 2 tablespoons of cold water and then add to juices. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly until thickened. Serve gravy over meat and vegetables.

Beef Roast and Sour Cream Gravy

1 (3 pound) chuck or pot roast
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon oil
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon dill weed
5 or 6 small potatoes
5 or 6 carrots
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 large onion
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon dill seed

Coat roast with 2 tablespoons flour, salt and pepper. Brown in oil in skillet. Put roast in crock pot. Add water and vinegar. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon dill weed over meat, then add potatoes, carrots, onion and salt. Cook on high for 4 to 5 hours. To make a gravy, pour off 3 tablespoons of drippings, add 1 tablespoon flour and heat. Measure rest of drippings, and add water to make 1 cup. Add to flour mixture and heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add sour cream and 1 teaspoon dill weed. Heat to boiling before serving.

Crock pot cooking tip: During long cooking times, dry, ground herbs and spices may dissolve, so a good tip is to always add your ground spices closer to the end of cooking time. For the best flavor enhancing, use whole herbs and spices because they tend to release their flavor over time and work very well in crock pot slow cooking.

Now and then the weather gets rainy and cold and if you are looking for a warm, filling meal to make things seem cheerier, crockpot chicken recipes are the ones to pick. You can find a great variety of crockpot recipes that offer fantastic selections for many different meals, but one of the all-around favorites is chicken stew.

If you are going to be home while it is cooking, you will be willing the time to pass quickly so you can eat soon because it smells so delicious and if you will be away for a while, you will be so glad when you arrive home and the fresh aroma of homemade stew hits you as you open the door.

In the morning, the ingredients are added to the crockpot, the temperature set to LOW, and the ingredients stirred together. The lid is placed on top and everything cooks just as it supposed to do, leaving you to dish the stew in bowls. Either warm biscuits or warm bread can accompany the meal and satisfy those at the table.

You can add a lot of color and flavor to crockpot chicken stew by putting in peas, carrots, green beans, corn, and onions. Celery is another option for vegetables, as are green onion stems cut finely. Sometimes the vegetables will not be fork tender and if this happens, keep on cooking them until they are. Even though some tend to think of stew as a winter meal, it is good any time of the year. It is healthy, filling, inexpensive, and when using a crockpot recipe, easy to make.

Flavorful Crockpot Chicken Recipes

Herbs are another thing that create such an excellent taste in the chicken and vegetables. If you have friends or family coming for dinner, chicken stew is an ideal dish to serve. The fragrance will greet them when they enter the house and have them feeling hungry very quickly. You can find many quick easy appetizers recipes that will complement the dinner and perk up their appetite a bit more for dinner. Some of the herbs that might be included in the recipe you choose are thyme, rosemary, paprika, and sage. Sometimes a dash of white pepper will bring a more intense flavor to the chicken and have people guessing what the ingredient is that made it all so special.

When choosing a chicken stew recipe for your crockpot meal, be sure to pick one with ingredients that you and your family like. If someone does not care for carrots, cut the pieces of carrot large enough that you can dish up their stew with no sign of carrots. Even if you select an easy recipe, the finished flavor is always good and sometimes incredible. Herbs, vegetables, chicken, and spices, along with the broth of the cooked meal, cook well together, blending during the hours spent cooking in the crockpot.

Cooking meat and vegetables together at a low temperature allows the flavors to come out, combine, and stay delicious. In Europe, slow cooking has become recognized as one of the healthiest ways to prepare meals and many countries, such as Italy and Slovenia and in Asia, Japan, are proud to be called slow food countries, using healthy local produce and meats while creating enticing meals with recipes usually native to their country.

Celebrate with one of these delicious recipes tonight.

Chicken and mushrooms are popular in crockpot recipes as well as in special crockpot chili recipes. If you enjoy cooking with meats, vegetables, spices and more, why not try out some easy crockpot chicken recipes?
