Rijksmuseum Kookboek

Cooking is art. Cooking is history. This can be seen in the Rijksmuseum, where thousands of objects testify to the Netherlands’ rich culinary history and the prominent role food and drink play in art. Another place where you can find art is on your plate at the RIJKS® Restaurant. More than reason enough for the Rijksmuseum to publish this cookbook. This is not simply a book of recipes, but rather an inventory of 50 typical Dutch ingredients ranging from asparagus to wild boar. Each ingredient features in both a traditional and a modern dish concocted by 50 leading Dutch chefs and pastry chefs. Returning to the basis, to the sampler of Dutch cuisine, they inspire you to see ingredients and dishes you have known for years in a surprising new light.
