Join Flemming and Lieke in our Taalhuis kitchen and learn how to prepare THE Dutch winter dish by definition: stamppot.

Combining potatoes with vegetables in a ‘stamppot’ (mashed potato dish) is a very original and traditional Dutch dish: warm and simple, perfectly suitable for the cold winters. We will also prepare “the other half” of a traditional stamppot: smoked sausage*.

For dessert, there is another Dutch staple on the menu: the appeltaart! A crunchy yet melting casket encloses apples, sugar, and spices. A dessert that is both delicious and simple to prepare. And it is quintessentially Dutch: apples and butter from the countryside and spices from faraway lands.

During this 2,5 hour workshop, you will get your hands dirty while making your own Dutch stamppot and appeltaart. While you’re on the job, you’ll learn the necessary cooking vocabulary in Dutch and some interesting stories and anecdotes about traditional Dutch and regional cuisine.

When the preparations are done, we’ll have a “borrel” and set the table and taste a few Dutch starters. Then it’s time to taste this Dutch comfort food and chat about the Dutch culture, cuisine, and language.

* We will use biological meat, and there will be a vegan option.
