Our little neighborhood Dutch Cook Shop

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

Hello everyone 🙂

I was walking around our historical town, which is about 2 blocks from where my house is by foot, and thought to myself that you might enjoy seeing a Dutch Cook Shop.  I came across this store when we first moved here a few years ago and just fell in love with it.

The two lovely ladies who just happen to have the same name Anne and Anne who own and have been running this little gem for 20 years, have everything believe it or not that a cook needs to use from pots,  pans to any utensil possible.  I have always found everything  that I need from bowls to baking pans and even a specific bowl that I need for kneading dough 🙂    As you can see from the pictures it has many different types of cookware, glassware from Dutch to American and various other countries and ohhh!! some of the handmade bowls are just absolutely stunning. 

When I first walked into the store I noticed this cookware design that was really pretty a brand called Blond Amsterdam.  Anne, back then explained to me that this is a Dutch brand…I loved the concept and the colors that are used for this cookware pink, green, and to be honest I had no idea the Dutch made cookware…it really never crossed my mind.  🙂

So, I have decided, that since I am living in the Netherlands and I do enjoy to travel, that I will start to visit other places in the Netherlands and take pictures and upload them on my new blog so that you guys can see the Netherlands from my point of view.  I have not yet come up with a name but I will absolutely let you know.

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

        True in my case as well. Some are not worthy to pay but some are so techy couldn’t resist sometimes. There are lot of useful gadget out there they are really really useful to make our life easier. But it’s fun to have this kind of shop around.

        Yes, it is as much as I love going window shopping for clothes or bags but just window shopping. I enjoy window shopping for my cooking habits. 🙂
