Dutch Cuisine Culinary Routes
Through unique routes across the Netherlands, Dutch Cuisine restaurants, growers, landscapes and influencers are promoted to domestic and foreign tourists. It is a total ‘Memorable food culture experience’ that goes beyond simply great ‘eating’ and portrays our rich food history. Each season, chefs, museums, growers, cities and regions with unique (food) landscapes show something different to see, do, and taste: both in the landscape and upon the dinner plate.
In conjunction with the Dutch Bureau for Tourism, the first contours for the touristic Dutch Cuisine Routes have been realised for both the east and the west of the country. All information on products and growers that is collated during the creation of routes, can be utilised for the match-making facility of Dutch Cuisine waabij whereby products with a remarkable story are made (more) accessible for the catering industry and the consumer, thereby reducing the distance between the consumer and (local) growers: the stimulation of the so-called short supply chain.
Through placing people in a ‘memorable food culture experience’, the story behind it is being told, but people can also come into contact with it; additionally, the short supply chain is promoted, and people can traverse the varied Dutch landscape. Here, a connection is made between our food culture and nature.
