What To Expect
This is a unique opportunity to visit the home of a local and explore traditional culture and cuisine. Meet your host Fusina at her canal home and join her in her cozy kitchen to learn to cook and flip pannenkoeken or pancakes, a very simple but typical Dutch meal. You can create savory pancakes with bacon (Dutch pancetta) as well as sweet pancakes with local apples. Your hands-on pancake cooking class during which you will learn to make a savory and sweet Dutch pancake from scratch will last about an hour and a half. Enjoy learning about the techniques involved in creating this dish before you sit down with Fusina at her kitchen table to enjoy a basic but authentic Dutch meal of savory and sweet pancakes. Your meal will include a savory pancake, a traditional Dutch treat and a sweet pancake for dessert. Immerse yourself in local Dutch culture as Fusina shares stories about herself, her family and the Netherlands during this unique Dutch culinary experience. Canal homes are a typical example of 17th Century Dutch architecture - charming apartments overlooking the canal, they are slim, high and deep so please expect a narrow kitchen.

5.00Superb experience! Fusina was so welcoming and hospitable. I really enjoyed visiting with her & making the pancakes. Her home is in a very convenient & easy to find location, and has an amazing view of the canal. I learned so much from her & am now inspired to look for experiences like this everywhere I go.
Delicious and welcoming!

5.00Fusina welcomed us into her beautiful home over the canal. She was a patient teacher, letting us measure the pancake ingredients and encouraging us to flip the pan in the traditional way! We enjoyed learning about everyday life, as well as special traditions in Amsterdam, capped off by sips of delicious wine after eating our creations!
