Home Cooked Amsterdam Experience

The Dutch don't talk much about their food unless it’s about pancakes! Pannekoeken are a traditional Dutch treat — sometimes sweet, sometimes savory, but always delicious! Enjoy this two-hour pancake lunch with our local chef after shopping for ingredients at our favorite neighborhood shops! The Dutch base their meals on what they call “the Trinity”: two veggies and a meat (oh, and don’t forget the Raypenaer cheese, please!), and our chef will teach you about these traditions in Dutch cuisine, as you enjoy a classic meal of pannekoeken. The aim is for you to experience life exactly how it is. This experience will be no different than a local having dinner with any of their friends or relatives. It is the chance to hang out in the kitchen (customs and space willing) and chat about your life and theirs, the affairs of the day that are impacting and bringing joy into their home, and to feel for a few hours just how the locals really live. You will be met at the meeting point by your host, at which point they will take you shopping in their neighborhood before going to their home to cook and eat.
