About

I can spend the whole summer travelling and eating in Holland and never getting tired of the wonderful food prepared. 
The below recipe is a favorite that  I am sharing  in honor of Jeanette and Johan W. that have introduced me to Indonesian and Dutch cooking years ago, and was, and still is a family favorite.
