Book has great recipes and stories about the recipes. Love the Stroopwafel recipe.

This book has a cute concept, fun photos and looks at Dutch traditions and food. It's aimed at tourists and was sold for a while in museums, etc. (One hopes it's gone now.) I tried to write the publisher, hoping they'd fix some of the more egregious errors, but couldn't find an address for them in the book or online. Don't think they want to know. E.g. there is one word in Dutch for protein and egg white (eiwit); you have to know by context what you're talking about. You'd think that professional food writers would know of this difficulty--not. To be admired for the pics and the cute look at Dutch life. Not for recipes.

Got this one as a gift from my dad, who got it as a gift from his work. I intend to pass it on as a gift to an American friend of mine. It's kind of that type of book: a fun, quick read, some interesting background on Dutch food and some nice recipes, but other than that it's mostly a bit of fluff.
