Travelling Holland

Local food tells the real story about a country and its people. When in ......, eat like the........, is my motto.

I realised that as a tourist visiting Holland you will have a hard time finding a Dutch restaurant that serves typical Dutch food.

Holland has many international restaurants, but just a few that specializes in food from the Netherlands. It is almost impossible to eat traditional Dutch food at a restaurant.

How can you, hungry tourist in this country, experience the great food that we Dutch grew up with?

Dutch Food Is Great!

Healthy, lots of fresh veggies, seasonal food, well balanced and often slow-cooked. But it is hidden in the homes of the Dutch where they cook the most delicious meals for their families. See: Recipes

Let me introduce myself
