A TASTE OF THE Netherlands

Dutch food is earthy, hearty and practical (the original meat-veg-and-potato cuisine). A farming and fishing nation, it’s always had good seafood, healthy produce and superior dairy products. The Netherlands introduced Europe to coffee, and thanks to the spice trade, dishes have an extra layer of complexity and deliciousness. Add to this a sweet tooth and the highly social nature of the Dutch people, and you have the ideal recipe for comfort food.
