Guest Reviews
“We wanted something more meaningful than another restaurant dinner — this was it. We cooked stamppot, drank wine, and laughed a lot. Our teenage kids even fried bitterballen. It felt like being welcomed into a Dutch home.”
– Susan M., USA
“I was nervous it might be too basic, but the experience was really well-paced and personal. We picked the menu ourselves, and the chef made everyone feel relaxed — even the two in our group who never cook at home!”
– Daniel R., UK
