Amsterdam Dutch Pancake Class

This intimate and highly personal Dutch cooking experience takes place in the beautiful canal house apartment of Fusina, a warm and knowledgeable Amsterdam local who lives in the heart of the city’s historic district. Participants are welcomed into Fusina’s home to learn how to prepare traditional Dutch pannenkoeken, the beloved Dutch pancakes that hold a cherished place in everyday Dutch family life. The class teaches both a savoury version topped with crispy Dutch bacon and a sweet version made with local seasonal apples, and participants are guided through the preparation and the traditional hand-flip technique from start to finish. The experience includes tasting of Dutch wines, locally made cheeses, homemade apple bar, and herring, giving participants a broad and genuinely delicious introduction to Dutch food culture in the most authentic possible setting. Fusina shares stories about Dutch culinary traditions, the history of the canal house, and everyday life in the Netherlands throughout the class, creating a warm and conversational atmosphere that feels more like visiting a friend than attending a cooking lesson. Reviews consistently describe the class as a must-do Amsterdam experience, and it has received Travelers’ Choice recognition from TripAdvisor.
