"Another recipe from Holland. There was only one resturant near "Drie Bergen" that made this and my Dad use to drive for miles to get some. Tastes a lot like the Japanese cucumber salad. Wonder where they got it? Or is it the other way around."

Ingredients: cucumbers, onions, sugar...

"When Dutch young people between the ages of 2 and 99 get up in the morning, this is often the breakfast of choice. It's very very traditional in the Netherlands and here we have Vlokken and Hagelslag in many variations of colours, textures and flavours.

Ingredients: chocolate sprinkles, margarine...

"I took a photo one day on Zaar of some chicken and included a jacket potato in my meal and was asked how I got it so crispy. Sadly my only wise answer was: Lazyness !This is an ultra simple recipe where the potatoes are baked in the oven WITHOUT any tin foil in sight. Cooking time can vary from 30 minutes to one hour depending on the type and size of..."

Ingredients: garlic butter, potatoes, salt...

"This soup is not a starter but a substantial meal, our favorite winter soup!! When cold the soup should be thick enough to slice, if not you did not make a good pea soup, (that is what my mother always told me!) Traditionally served with pumpernickel bread. Freezes well. I use 2 1/2 cups of split peas and find that thick enough, but for the true thick..."

"For a "team-building" day I went with colleagues to a Delft Chocolate shop where they hand make everything and they gave us lessons! Afterward I tried a cookbook Ganache recipe and it didn't work so I went back to this shop and they gave me the quantities that we'd used in our lesson and it works very well indeed !
NOTE: I have..."

"Another Pumpkin Soup, that's all I can say."

"Belgian endive or chicory is not a vegetable that will be liked by everybody. It being slightly bitter puts it in the category for an acquired taste. The recipe is based on 2 pieces per serving, so if you buy the endive heads and they are large or thick and you will halve them buy less heads. You can also make a bechamel sauce to which you add cheese..."

Ingredients: ham, lemon juice, nutmeg...

"This is a recipe that I threw together on the spur of the moment one day and was amazed at how tasty, easy and healthy is was. It's now in demand at our place and with guests. Please DON'T be afraid of the amount of mint.. it makes the dish.
I don't use butter or salt or pepper, so far the flavours of the sugar snaps and the mint together..."

Ingredients: fresh mint, sugar snap peas...

I am not sure where she got the recipe from originally though."
