Current day De Panne cuisine masters still have the roots firmly planted in homely Medieval cookery. Spices, mustard, vinegars and beer(*) are still widely used in savoury and sweet recipes and whilst there is a definite French touch to many recipes, the dishes are generally more substantial comfort foods. Fresh herbs are also still extensively used, in particularly chervil, tarragon, thyme, parsley, and chives.
All types of birds, meat and charcuterie are popular, and fish and seafood play a significant role in everyday cooking in De Panne.
