Amazing experience, very relaxing and easy-going, she was personable and offered a lot of insight on how life is in the Neverlands, well worth the money to do something non-touristy
Fusina provided the most wonderful lunch experience. Her canal apartment was clean and beautiful and the view unmatched. She started us off with cheese and wine. She even made us an apple tart from her grandmother‘s recipe. Then we made Dutch pancakes. One savory one sweet. Beyond delicious! we had incredible conversation and she has a great sense of humor.She even gave us a gift to take away. Truly one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam. If she doesn’t put a smile on your face, nothing will!!!
It was great to meet Fusina and spend two hours in an authentic canal house, talking about life in Amsterdam, sharing stories, and sampling Dutch specialties while making pancakes. As nice as it was, and I highly recommend the experience, be aware that it is pricey and what was provided is not exactly commensurate with the cost in my opinion. A small cheese platter, some herring, a half glass of wine, and two types of Dutch pancakes that we made were on the offering, all delicious ( and fun) but I have to be honest.
Our family of four -- twin 18 year-old boys and their 50-something parents -- had an absolutely delightful time with Fusina in her gorgeous home overlooking the canal. Absolutely everything -- the coffee, the cheese, the pancakes, the wine, the hospitality, the warmth -- was just perfect.
It was lovely to visit in the chef’s historic River front home. She was so welcoming and friendly and we had great fun making pancakes and sharing a meal.
Make sure you read the entire reminder letter. I just used the directions to meeting place. I never could find the place. When I arrived back in my hotel room I went back and re read everything. After walking up and Amstel, I was standing right in front of the place. However, by then I was late.and would have missed the beginning so I left.
I enjoyed the experience. Only trouble I had was exact location. I arrived in the right area, it could have been me, and my understanding of the address, so it would be in my part. But aside from that it was an enjoyable experience
Fusina, our instructor, was awesome! This class was a lot of fun, and a nice way to meet fellow travelers.
As instructed we arrived 15 minutes prior and host was irritated stating that the class begins at 11. We only made 2 Dutch pancakes for 4 people. Then followed by 4 small pieces of herring. However, her home was very clean. When class was completed we weren’t even given the option to use the bathroom. This does not qualify as a full lunch and left hungry. In my opinion this was definitely not worth the money.
My son and I had the best time making pancakes and learning about the Netherlands food and culture. The host was amazing and made us feel welcome right when we walked into her home. It was a highlight to our trip and I would recommend you do this if you ever visit Netherlands.
