DISCOVER THE NETHERLANDS

The Netherlands is a small yet culturally-rich country known for its windmills, tulips, clogs and cheese (quite the mix)! With fascinating museums, bright canals, spectacular parks and historic cities to explore, it’s a paradise for those who believe that variety is the spice of life - and travel, too.

Dutch food is simple yet delicious, and is often based on fresh, local ingredients like cheese and herring. In the Netherlands, it’s believed that food is the best medicine - you’ll find a surplus of heartwarming comfort meals, here.

stamppot

Dutch Stamppot is a traditional dish that has been passed down through generations. It is a hearty and warming meal that is perfect for winter evenings. This traditional dish is made with potatoes, vegetables, and a meat of your choice, all cooked in one pot. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.

erwtensoep

When it comes to traditional Dutch cuisine, there is one dish that stands out above the rest: erwtensoep. This flavorful soup is made with a variety of peas and is often served with smoked sausage, bacon, and/or pork. While it may not be the most attractive dish, it is certainly one of the most delicious.

HERRING

Herring is a Dutch dish that has been around for centuries. It is made with pickled herring, onions, and other spices. The dish is typically served with bread and boiled potatoes. Herring is a popular food in the Netherlands and is often eaten as a snack or for breakfast.

boerenkool

Boerenkool is a healthy and delicious Dutch dish. This hearty meal is made with kale, potatoes, and beef, and is served with a delicious gravy.

stroopwafels

If you're ever in the Netherlands, be sure to try a Dutch stroopwafel! These tasty little waffles are made of two thin layers of baked dough with a sticky syrup filling in the middle. They're best served warm, and you can find them at most cafes and markets. Trust me, they're worth seeking out!

poffertjes

Poffertjes are a type of small, fluffy pancake that originates from the Netherlands. They are often served with butter and powdered sugar, and sometimes with syrup or fruit. Poffertjes are made with yeast, making them light and airy. They are usually cooked in a special pan with deep divots, so that each pancake is evenly cooked. If you've never had poffertjes before, you're in for a treat!
