Mulder's Kookwinkel: A chef's delight

An eldorado for cooking fanatics and professional cooks. Anything you could wish for as to pots and pans, utensils, baking accessories...

What to buy: I bought a piece of cheesecloth to strain things like buttermilk. And a few large butchers hooks to hang my pans on. A rubber ice cube maker and best of all, a pudding tin to steam puddings in (with a lid).

A recipe for the pudding tin is on my Netherlands page under Local Customs.

What to pay: I spent about 25 euro.
