Home›Dishes›Cuisine›Dutch CuisineCuisineDutch CuisineEuropean CuisinesReference and ClassificationThoroughly VerifiedDutch cuisine is formed from the cooking traditions and practices of the Netherlands. It is shaped by the country's position on the delta of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt at the North Sea, which gave rise to fishing, farming and overseas trade. Availability of water and flat grassland means the diet contains many dairy products such as butter and cheese, while the court of the Burgundian Netherlands enriched elite cooking in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries and colonial trade continued that in later centuries. The Dutch developed the cocoa press process for making cocoa powder, and the cuisine has drawn renewed interest in taste through Indonesian influence and globalization.FactsDutch CuisineConnectionsIn the Other AtlasesSourcesTake a Related QuizComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsSignature TechniqueWell-attestedGibbing herring (removing the guts) to preserve it 1Origin RegionWell-attestedthe Netherlands 1Dutch CuisineFilter Results11 entriesDish FamilyAllEuropean Breads and Pastries (4)European Grain and Starch Dishes (2)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (4)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)Main IngredientAllAnise (1)Bay Leaf (1)Beef (1)Black Pepper (1)Brown Sugar (2)Butter (2)Cardamom (1)Cinnamon (3)Clove (2)Egg (2)Fish (1)Flour (4)Ginger (1)Gouda (1)Milk (2)Nutmeg (1)Onion (1)Pork (1)Rice (1)Salt (1)Sugar (1)Thyme (1)Vegetable (1)Whipped Cream (1)Yeast (1)Era (Origin Period)All1604 (1)1810 (1)2003 (1)TraditionAllNew Year Feast Traditions (1)Street Food Culture (2)Format/TypeAllEuropean Breads and Pastries (4)European Grain and Starch Dishes (2)European Roasted, Grilled and Fried Dishes (4)European Stews, Braises and Sauced Dishes (1)CourseAllDessert (1)Main Course (1)Dietary SuitabilityAllContains Fish or Shellfish (1)Contains Meat or Poultry (1)Origin RegionAllBelgium (3)France (1)Netherlands (8)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 11BalkenbrijDutch CuisineFlemish stewDutch CuisineKapsalonDutch CuisineKruidnotenDutch CuisineLekkerbekjeDutch CuisineMoorkopDutch CuisineOliebolDutch CuisinePepernootDutch CuisineRijstevlaaiDutch CuisineStoempDutch CuisineStroopwafelDutch CuisineConnectionsExpresses TraditionCheesemaking, Food Traditions Well-attested Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)Features DishBalkenbrij, Dishes Well-attested Source Balkenbrij (Wikipedia)Flemish stew, Dishes Well-attested Source Flemish stew (Wikipedia)Kapsalon, Dishes Well-attested Source Kapsalon (Wikipedia)Kruidnoten, Dishes Well-attested Source Kruidnoten (Wikipedia)Lekkerbekje, Dishes Well-attested Source Lekkerbekje (Wikipedia)Moorkop, Dishes Well-attested Source Moorkop (Wikipedia)Oliebol, Dishes Well-attested Source Oliebol (Wikipedia)Pepernoot, Dishes Well-attested Source Pepernoot (Wikipedia)Rijstevlaai, Dishes Well-attested Source Rijstevlaai (Wikipedia)Stoemp, Dishes Well-attested Source Stoemp (Wikipedia)Stroopwafel, Dishes Well-attested Source Stroopwafel (Wikipedia)Uses IngredientButter, Ingredients Well-attested Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)Cheese, Ingredients Well-attested Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)Herring, Ingredients Well-attested Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)Potato, Ingredients Well-attested Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)Rye, Ingredients Well-attested Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)In the Other AtlasesOriginated InNetherlandsAlso in Geography Atlas: where this subject originated.Source Dutch Cuisine (Wikipedia)Sources1.
