About
IN THE NETHERLANDS
How is Christmas (or New Year) celebrated in your country? Are there any special Advent traditions
/ rituals in your country?
Melany: In the Netherlands we celebrate the Christmas days on the December, 25th and 26th . These days
are really family days with some nice outdoor walks, games, cooking and sharing wonderful
moments with each other. We do have a tradition with New Year, we gather with family and
bake oliebollen and apple beignets. Both are a typical Dutch treat which is served during New
year. It is a delicious deep fried pastry.
Ynze: We are a Dutch/German mixed couple. In Germany the 24th is the most important date but in NL
we normally start on the 25th. We decided to go for the German tradition so for us Christmas start
on the 24th of December. The Christmas days are being celebrated together with family members
and close friends. Presents and great food are the main ingredients of these days.
What is the one thing you personally look forward to most every year?
Melany: The weeks before Christmas are wonderful. Creating in and outside the house the perfect
Christmas vibe. Since last year our son (Jurjen, 4 years) is experiencing the weeks before
Christmas throughout his Advent Calendar. His face of joy coming closer to the real Christmas
days is priceless. So I must say the whole December month is one big feast.
Ynze: Around the fireplace with family and friends and enjoy the time.
Which dish / menu from your country would you like to share with the Berghof colleagues? And why?
Melany: Since we are located in the Northern part of the Netherlands, Ynze and I decided to create a Frisian
Christmas menu. Therefore I would like to share with you the starter and dessert! Starter: Frisian
mustard soup. Dessert: French toast of Frisian sugar bread with warm apple and Cinnamon Ice cream.
Ynze: Together with Melany we have created a typical Frisian menu. I will be cooking the main course
and share the recipe.Main course: Hutspot with parsnip and hachee. First time my wife saw me
cooking this she thought I was crazy because of the combination of carrots and unions. After
trying, this became her favourite dish.cooking team

And for the VEGGIE lovers change the beef broth in vegetable broth and leave out the meat.

Z2u0 wPreview We hope you enjoy following the recipes and tasting our third advent menu! Speaking about joy: We would be very pleased to get your photos of the advent menu. Our plan is to create a photo trip around the Berghof world, so that at least in this way we sit together at the table and have a toast on our successful year, since our common, festive meal at the Berghof Christmas party can not take place this year. So please send us your pictures as well as your suggestions to marketing@berghof.com. We also look forward receiving your further recipes, as this culinary trip shall go on in 2021. We are eagerly waiting how you will go about the menues and how you like them!
