Hi, I’m Toine, and welcome to my kitchen! In my kitchen, I mostly cook the foods I grew up with from The Netherlands and its former colonies, such as Indonesia. If you’re not familiar with these dishes, check out the recipe page. I try to have a balance between main dishes, side dishes, snacks, and desserts.
For each recipe, I will tell you some history about the dish, as well as memories and emotions the food invokes for me! Many of the recipes will be adaptations of my mom’s recipes so that they can be made with items readily available in your regular grocery store.
All the recipes will have a YouTube video that shows you how I make it at home, so you can follow along!
If you have visited The Netherlands and enjoyed some of our delicious food, feel free to reach out to me on the contact page to request that I make something specific!
If you have made one of my recipes, please share a photo on Instagram with the hashtag #ToinesKitchen, and it’ll be shared on our webpage!

Hello to Toine from Madison WI! Smullen maar!
My previous video on how to make `zuurvlees` uses a bit of speculaas kruiden which I didn`t have so I made it. Recipes for speculaas kruiden may vary a little, for example some use mace. I didn`t have that so I added a lil pumpkin and a bit of allspice. Thank you for the recipe toineskitchen .
I have made many of your recipes and will post what I can! 🙏🏻
