beef and gingerbread
The typical Belgian beef stew,
known as “stoofvlees” of the
second main course is best
prepared with a dark beer, in
our case Leffe Brune. Another
curious ingredient is ginger-
bread that provides that final
touch to obtain that unique fla-
vour. The very same evening
Paul already shared the recipe
with one of the guests.

Dutch dairy farmer investigating opportunities Macedonia
In the first weekend of Novem-

Verstraten came to Macedonia
for an extensive acquaintance
with the Macedonian dairy sec-
tor.
While Jos is occupied as board
member of the Dutch agricul-
ture association LTO (50,000

ly business. Their dairy farm
consists of 120 heads with two
milk robots, some 100 heads
young cattle and 50 hectares
of land. Watch this video for a
full impression.

Since the farm is not big
enough to provide work and
income for two households and
Lukas has a Macedonian girl-

tunities for dairy farming in

plained the lack of raw milk
in Macedonia, BiMilk general
manager Gorgi Petrusev in-
stantly offered his support to
