Het Lagerhuys shows just how rich and versatile Dutch food culture really is. For centuries, our cuisine has been shaped by simplicity, craftsmanship, and regional traditions. From the medieval foundations of bread, grains, and fish, to the Golden Age when spices found their way into Dutch kitchens and distinctive flavor combinations emerged. In the 18th and 19th centuries, the recognizable Dutch comfort kitchen took shape, while in the 20th century international influences from places such as Indonesia and Suriname once again enriched our palate.
Today, there is a renewed appreciation for craftsmanship: cooking with local ingredients, following the seasons, and bringing classic dishes back to life with a modern touch.
