Dutch Cuisine for Gourmets: Authentic recipes, delicacies and specialties

Dutch cuisine is famous for its originality and traditions; there is a lot about fish. It is associated with cheese and licorice desserts around the world, but national cuisines are beyond these accepted concepts. 

At first glance, cooking local dishes is easy. Still, they have a high calorie content that tourists need to prepare. Surprisingly, the foundation of Dutch cuisine was born at a time when she taught girls to cook delicious, saturated and cheapest dishes. Locals love simple and quick food, considering others a waste of time. That’s why smoked sausage peas, pea soup or herring herring are still popular.

Only fish caught between May and July are used to cook the famous herring. The Dutch eat it whole, with the tail at the head and not cut into pieces. In the Netherlands, a lot of attention is paid to sausages. It is imperative to try smoked sausages served with vegetable dishes. Another authentic meal you can only try in the Netherlands is the tablespoon. Potatoes, broccoli, onions, spinach, etc. It is a kind of puree made of different vegetables. The cure was invented in the 16th century. This dish is an example of simple and high-calorie Dutch cuisine.

Special attention should be paid to Dutch cheeses, which are famous all over the world due to their high quality and unique taste. Every year, the Dutch eat an average of 20 kg of cheese. The most famous varieties include Gouda, Edamer, Maasdam, Leiden, Grakaas, Roomano and others. Gouda has been the most popular cheese in the Netherlands since the 19th century. This species has a fairly robust, even dry, consistent and recognizable scent. Another famous cheese, Maasdam, is known for its large holes and saturated sweet-smelling taste. Fans of spicy flavors like Leyden cheese made with cumin and cloves. Roomano is one of the rarest and most expensive cheeses; It matures for more than 4 years. www.orangesmile.com all rights reserved.

Hollanders love sweets. One of the most popular items here are monpazier candies, which are small colorful lollipops. It is cooked mainly from two ingredients – sweet and salty licorice. Monpazier souvenirs can be found in almost any store. Another popular treat is sling-Waffles. These are traditional round Waffles with soft caramel filling. Another dessert that absorbs all the features of Dutch cuisine is poffertjes. These are something made from buckwheat flour and yeast. They have high calorific properties and are usually sold in winter on cold days. They are eaten with whipped cream, syrup or berries. You should definitely try the limeburg cake with fruit filling. This is one of the oldest and most authentic dishes in the country.

For the Dutch, alcoholic drinks are a way to relax after a hard day’s work, celebrate royal holidays or just spend time with friends. Beer, especially lagers, is very popular in the Netherlands. Amstel and Heineken are the most popular brands. Historically, beer was drunk by both children and adults because, unlike water, it had no infections and bacteria in it. Jeanneau gin stands out among spirits. It is made from barley and juniper berries. Drunk with beer or added coffee.

The Netherlands is famous for their stinginess, which is evident in their gastronomic preferences. It is not customary to serve sumptuous meals, and leftover food after the feast is usually thrown away. Coffee and tea are very popular here. The traditional time for tea is between 10-11:00 am and 7-08:00 am. Milk is also popular here, although the Dutch call it coffee with milk incorrectly. Milk containing anise or chocolate is often served with a sandwich with fudge. This is another unique, yet very tasty find of the Dutch.

What Are Stroopwafels? What You Need To Know About This Dutch Cookie

What Are Stroopwafels? What You Need To Know About This Dutch Cookie

In the Netherlands, there is one dish that really stood out as something completely different from anything you’ve ever tried: the stroopwafel.

True to their name, stroopwafels have waffles. It consists of two very thin, crispy waffles with a sweet layer of warm caramel syrup in between. If you buy them at the grocery store, the caramel isn’t warming but is still a delicious snack.Fresh stroopwafels are the perfect balance of crunchy, buttery waffles and sweet, warm caramel. They’re incredibly messy and the caramel will likely drip all over the place, so keep napkins handy.

#SpoonTip: If you’re buying the Stroopwafel at a market, they’ll probably dip it in chocolate for you if you ask. It only costs a euro or more.

Where Do Stroopwafels Come From?

Stroopwafel was invented in Gouda , in the Netherlands in the early 19th century when a baker wanted to find a way to use his leftovers. This isn’t the only dish Gouda is famous for. It is best known for its cheese , with which it shares its name.

Around the same time that stroopwafels were invented, a specific way of eating them was also developed. A stroopwafel is meant to sit perfectly over a steaming cup of coffee or tea. You should leave it there for about two minutes to soften before enjoying your afternoon coffee. The Dutch love their coffee (the Amsterdam Coffee Festival is one of the largest in the world), so it makes sense that their traditional way of eating is very much linked to their daily cup of coffee.

Where to Find Stroopwafels in the USA?

Fortunately, stroopwafel has grown in popularity over the past few years, so it’s relatively easy to find in the US. The most common brand you can find in the US is Daelmans . They sell to big retailers like Target. Trader Joe’s also sells stropwafels, which come in a cute little tin and are perfect for entertaining guests

You can also find Stroopwafels at Dutch bakeries or smaller brands in your city. For example, this Spoon author started his own stroopwafel business.

I predict that Stroopwafels will become even more popular in the next few years until they become a well-known treat all over the world. For now, brands will work if you can’t beat the Atlantic supermarkets, but know that nothing compares to a bite of a fresh stropwafel while standing between canal houses and bikers. As the Dutch say, stroopwafels are ‘lekker!’
