Easter in the Netherlands

Many people prepare Easter carefully: “Easter Breakfast”, “Easter Brunch”, “Easter Lunch” or  “Easter Dinner”, with lots of seasonal products like Easter breads, cake, chocolate, salmon and all kind of different preparations off eggs… Yes, Easter became one of those holidays where it is all about being together, around some tasteful dishes. But don’t you think Dutch people only cook and eat their food…

Families with children may decorate boiled eggs with paint and confetti, for example. Adults hide these eggs around the house for children to go look for them. Sounds common, right? “Easter egg hunts” are really a thing though in the Netherlands. Children are told that the mythical Easter Bunny hid the eggs for them…  But not only kids prepare themselves for a good hunt; even young adults and elder people like to dive into the garden. Another fun fact of Easter in the Netherlands: lots and lots of different kinds of chocolate eggs are involved. You can even find Easter eggs with small pieces of the famous, Dutch syrup waffle!

Butter & Bread

We’re going to kick off with something nice and simple. Easter without a peace of Easter-, raisin- or sugar bread with butter… Not going to happen! Arts of butter can be used for breakfast, brunch, lunch and ofcourse for dinner as well. It is just a little bit different than the well-known Easter butter lamb. You can use the byFlow Studio to create your own shape or a nice message for your guests.
