Mooncake – The baking book From pistachio cake to medovik & fantacake

€24,95

For this book I travelled right across our country and crept deep into the ovens of Dutch households. There I found more than 50 undiscovered homegrown cakes, bakes and biscuits that show what our baking culture looks like today. The Netherlands has long had an extensive baking culture that used to differ from city to city or even village to village. Due to the arrival of people from all over the world, the list of different types of bakes has grown explosively. From bolo di cashupete to kunafeh and medovik – we have it all in our homes and with this book we are going to celebrate that.

Food critic Hiske Versprille About Mooncake – The baking book:

‘This book makes me so extremely happy. Jonneke is uncommonly curious and voracious in the best sense of the word, has great taste and an easy, breezy writing style, and (through her blog and this book) always brings us to places that are actually right under our noses yet somehow fall just outside our field of vision. It's also great that it's a very Dutch book: so it features not only Moroccan biscuits, but also the results of decadent underground baking competitions and over-the-top brainwaves like the Fanta cake and the Ferrero Rocher cake. A joyful, mouth-watering ode to the wildly diverse Dutch baking landscape. ‘You know the cake has turned out well when it falls apart a bit and the whole house is covered in crumbs.’.
