Recently, we caught up with our good friends Diana and Jose for a weekend in Amsterdam. We’d love to tell you all about it, but unfortunately… we don’t remember anything!! JUST KIDDING!
We had a great time walking around the city and touring the museums. The canals around the city are lit up at nighttime creating a Paris-like feel. Everyone is friendly, and it’s true what they say, bicycles are everywhere!
Special thanks to Jose who did quite a bit of research prior to the trip and kept us well fed. We dined at Restaurant De Kas, which is contained in a greenhouse and grows it’s own food; Lof, where the chefs go to market every day and create the menu from what they mind; and Wynand Fockink which opened in 1679 and make Jenever (purportedly the precursor to gin) using original techniques.
Perhaps our favorite eating experience? A picnic of wine and cheese we had in a local park.
You truly captured the beauty of food and the joys of eating farm to plate! Is that greenhouse connected to the restaurant? I’m so happy that you are having these amazing culinary adventures!
