Raisin Buns
Krentenbollen (currant buns) is very popular in The Netherlands. Nowadays currant buns are almost always made with a mixture of raisins and currants, which technically makes them raisin-currant buns. This is also what they print on the back of the bags of currant buns you buy in the supermarket, but everyone just keeps calling them currant bun (krentenbol).I call mine Raisin Buns.
Gevulde Speculaas
Gevulde Speculaas right on time for the Holidays. You can eat them all year around, but most of the time people will bake these around the Holidays. Gevulde Speculaas is a Dutch Spiced Cookie filled with Almond Paste. The dough is a little softer than the cookie dough for Speculaas cookies. Speculaas cookies have been around since the 17th century.
Huzaren Salade
Dutch Potato Salad also called Huzaren Salade or as we called it at home Slaatje is a traditional Dutch dish presented at twelve o’clock at night. This salad is only called Huzaren Salade in the Netherlands. In the rest of the world they call a salad of meat, potatoes, pickles, onion, dressing and some mayonnaise on top, a Russian salad. The origin of the Huzaren Salade is – as is the case with many dishes – not completely known. Hussars were originally Hungarian horsemen, who camped in the Austrian army to fight against the Turks. It was impossible to make fire in the battle area, because they had to remain unseen. Therefore, the hussars took food that they had prepared in advance. Such as cold salads with potatoes, vegetables and meat. This is how these salads got the name Hussar salad.
Macaroni Dutch Style
My mother used to make macaroni differently then what you see here in the USA. Here they would call it Goulash. Since we don’t have the famous Honing Macaroni mix I improvised. Enjoy.
