Puff pastry

Puff pastry

On Coquinaria are several historical recipes for puff pastry. On this page is a modern version. While I was searching online I saw some recipes for puff pastry that are actually just for flaky dough. Puff pastry is a kind of flaky dough, but to make puff pastry it takes something extra. Because just folding…

Traditional Dutch Banketletter

Traditional Dutch Banketletter

“Keep it simple: start with an I” The banketletter is one of the few traditional Dutch Christmas bakes, as most Dutch December bakes are actually done for the national children’s feast Sinterklaas on December 5th. Most people just buy it in the stores, and I must admit that it takes some work to make a…

Dutch bitterballen from leftover oxtail meat

Dutch bitterballen from leftover oxtail meat

With oxtail meat and stock and dried ceps For the family Christmas dinner in 2014 I had prepared an old-fashioned clear oxtail consommé as first course. I ended up with leftover stock and a lot of leftover meat from the oxtail. I froze part of the meat with 3 cups of the stock, and when two months later…

Dutch Bishop Wine

Dutch Bishop Wine

Although actually it’s English! The Dutch consider Bishop wine as a typically Dutch mulled wine for Sint Nicholas Eve. But it appears that its origins are not Dutch at all. According to the large Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal (Lexicon of the Dutch Language, published  in installments from 1864 to 1998), bisschopswijn has English roots. The name indicates the…

Recipes for Dutch Santa Claus

Recipes for Dutch Santa Claus

In the Netherlands the birthday of Saint Nicholas – or Sinterklaas in Dutch –  is celebrated on the eve of 5 December. It is mainly a feast for children, but when the children stop ‘believing’ the feast becomes even more fun. In my family we celebrate the Dutch equivalent of Secret Santa, which does not…

Clear Oxtail Soup

Clear Oxtail Soup

Haute cuisine for the Middle Class In my youth we used to eat oxtail soup as the first course of our Christmas dinner. My mother did not really like cooking, so the rest of the year our dinner fare was simple. If she did serve soup, it was prepared from a can or stock cube….

To make a trifle

To make a trifle

Straight to the recipe Mrs Beeton’s calorie bomb Our Christmas dinner from 2011 was themed Austen and Dickens. The recipe on this page was the dessert: trifle. An enjoyable dish to prepare, but a veritable mountain of sugar and liquor at the close of the meal. The dish can be prepared almost completely in advance;…

Peperkoek, the Dutch version of gingerbread

Peperkoek, the Dutch version of gingerbread

A delicious treat This ‘pepper cake’ is very popular in the Netherlands, and is known under several other names, like ontbijtkoek (breakfast cake) and kruidkoek (spice cake), or connected to regions like Groninger koek or Deventer koek. It is promoted by the food industry as a healthy snack, because it contains no fat. However, sweeteners like honey and sugar constitute more than 50% of…

Dutch beef stew or ‘hachee’

Dutch beef stew or ‘hachee’

Great with mashed potatoes and red cabbage Hachee (pronunciation ɦɑʃeː or hashay) is a traditional Dutch winter dish with beef. It has an almost medieval flavour, because of the use of vinegar and peperkoek (something like gingerbread but not quite the same). Hachee can be served as a separate dish, but I have chosen to prepare an oven dish, with red cabbage and apple on the bottom…

Eggs for Easter

Eggs for Easter

why? Don’t you love eating eggs with Easter? But why all those eggs, what is their connection with Easter? Many people think more about the Easter bunny and chocolate than the religious feast. The (easter) egg symbolizes eternity, resurrection and fertility, and there are several ancient, heathen or Roman predecessors of Easter which I won’t go…
