Dutch Cook Book

Written by Published on Updated on October 27, 2017 in Uncategorized

The other day, a really good friend of mine had the day off from work, so we decided to spend the day going to Vintage/Second hand stores.  I saw many wonderful things, from furniture to children’s books to clothes.  We actually went to 4 different of these stores that day, and  had a great time.    Since, my friend is teacher the first section she goes to is the children’s section. She looks around to see what she can find to use in her class.  She actually found an Owl, we were so busy chatting away, that I forgot to ask her what she was going to say about the Owl to her class. hmmmm.  

I went to the book section, and looked around and came across the cookbook section :)…Oh what joy hahahaha, I saw a few cookbooks which I found fascinating all in Dutch of course.  Then I moved on and just looked around and found so many wonderful things, now those of you who enjoy these sorts of stores know exactly what I am talking about.  🙂  

So, my friend Lenneke is a very special, kind, human being, she bought me a present, and I would like to share it with you because those of you who cook will enjoy this.  She bought me a Dutch Cookbook!!!  I took a few pictures from the cook book for you to see.

I’m still trying to understand each of the recipes…way too much google translating going on here, so once I understand what each recipe is, I will post the titles 🙂 

Those of you who use google translate know how funny it is sometimes.  If you really want to have a good laugh go on youtube and watch Jimmy Fallon and Idris Elba sing google translated songs.  THAT IS HYSTERICAL!!!! ON THE FLOOR HYSTERICAL!!!   It’s a MUST!!!

I will post more recipes from this cookbook so you can see the variety of recipes that exist.

Thank you Lenneke!!!!  🙂

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
