Zeeland recipes

There are culinary highlights galore in Zeeland. It’s probably no surprise to find out that our local ingredients can be used to make every kind of delicacy. Before visiting, you may like to try sampling them yourself. From the humble ‘bolus’ to the three-course meal: we’ve set out a number of easy-to-follow Zeeland recipes for you below.

Making typical Zeeland recipes yourself

The ‘bolus’ is the Zeelander’s favourite pastry. Its typical spiral shape is made from bread dough which has been rolled in brown sugar. The bolus is sweet and sticky and popular with locals and visitors alike. Luckily, you can make them at home too! Check out the bolus recipe here. Or try another variant and bake a bolus cake!

Another typical Zeeland delicacy for sweet-tooths is the ‘roomboterbabbelaar’, a kind of butterscotch. Babbelaars are delicious caramel-like sweets which can go a long way. This babbelaar recipe  helps you make them in next to no time!
