Inhaltsangabe

1. Introduction
Overview of Dutch history (from the 16th century - the Golden Age - and a
timeline of exploration/colonial expansion)
. Highlights from Dutch cuisine: Cheese
From cheese markets to cheese platters, the Dutch are exceptional
cheese-makers and -eaters. Much more than Gouda, this overview will include
a history of the Dutch affection for dairy products, and will provide
serving tips and a simple recipe for cheesy beer soup.
2. Your Dutch pantry
This chapter includes descriptions of common Dutch spices, sauces and
condiments, substitutions for ingredients that are hard to find, and
commonly used fruits, vegetables and proteins.
. Highlights from Dutch cuisine: Sugar
If the Dutch are famous for one thing in particular, it might be their
sweet tooth. Here, we explore Dutch sweets, including hagelslag, a popular
toast and sandwich topping that's really just an excuse to eat chocolate
sprinkles for breakfast.
3. Ontbijt (Breakfast)
From the simple and hearty to fresh-baked and buttered, Dutch breakfast is
a bread-focused affair. (If you were hoping for pancakes here, you'll have
to skip ahead - the Dutch prefer their pancakes to be part of the evening
meal.)

. Highlights from Dutch cuisine: Licorice
Here, a run-down on Dutch dropjes, from sweet soft licorice to ghastly
dubble zoutes. This essay touches on the history of the Dutch affection for
licorice, as well as its perceived medicinal properties.
. Koffietijd (Coffee)
Pastries and cakes to be served with coffee or tea, plus custard-based
drinks to be served at daytime celebrations.
o Peperkoek (Dutch gingerbread loaf)

w/butter and syrup)

. Highlights from Dutch cuisine: Genever (sometimes spelled "jenever")
The history of this Dutch precursor to gin and how to drink it, including
tasting notes.
4. Borrels (Drinks, especially gin but also beer)
Dutch people understand - perhaps better than anyone - how well salty,
fried or cheesy (or cheesy fried) foods go with a few or too many drinks.
This chapter includes recipes for finger foods that go well with beer, cold
gin, or whatever else gets you through the evening.

sober up bar patrons or satisfy drunk stomachs and prevent hangovers)
. Highlights from Dutch cuisine: Herring
Dutch sushi? Here we talk about the role of herring in Dutch cuisine, and
the many ways it's commonly eaten raw, cured, pickled and canned.
5. Het middageten (dinner, or "the hot meal")
The Dutch prefer just one hot meal per day. If the hot meal happens midday,
then the evening meal would be a cold dish, primarily involving bread. This
chapter assumes you'd have your hot meal somewhere around 6:00 p.m., though
to be honest a plate of cold meat and hearty bread is always sufficient for
dinner, as far as I'm concerned.

about Dutch brewing history, brown cafes, and how Dutch recipes use beer to
add flavour and complexity to simple, homemade dishes.
6. Rijsttafel (Rice Table)
Rijsttafel is a meal in itself; this chapter provides recipes of varying
degrees of complexity to aid in preparing rice table dinners for family

. Highlights from Dutch cuisine: Stamppot (sample provided)
Stamppot is a term that encompasses any number of mashed foods in
combination; the most popular of these is boerenkool, a dish of mashed
potatoes with kale or endive. Stamppots are comfort foods, cozy dishes of
cheap veggies served with sausages, and are both economical and easy to
throw together on a weeknight.
