    About me

    Welcome to Nutmeg & Vinegar! I’m so happy you found me. Here you'll find easy recipes made with everyday ingredients, classics with a twist, and historical recipes from the middle ages through the touring 20s and beyond.

    I am Maayke, the recipe developer behind Nutmeg & Vinegar living in the Netherlands with a passion for history, especially food history. That is why I will also be sharing recipes I find in my antique cookbooks or the archives. I love trying recipes from the 17th & 18th-century and finding ways to make them work with modern ingrediënts.

    I discovered my passion for food history when my big sister got me an antique cookbook for Christmas and after years of reading, researching, and trying recipes Nutmeg & Vinegar finally came to life in 2018.

    When I’m not in the kitchen I’m probably spending time with family and friends or thinking about the recipes I want to make next. 

    Some of my favorite recipes

    • Traditional Dutch apple pie
    • Chicken souvlaki with pita
    • Speculaas
    • Dutch pancakes

    10 Random facts about me!

    1. I can't live without cheese!
    2. I know almost every line from Disney's the little mermaid (in Dutch of course).
    3. I am allergic to mosquitoes, but they seem to love me.
    4. Countries on my bucket list are Denmark, Ireland, Australia, Canada, and Iceland.
    5. I speak 2 and understand 5 languages.
    6. I don't like (hate) coriander.
    7. I love reading. One of my favorite books is House between the tides by Sarah Maine.
    8. The inspiration for the name of this blog came from my favorite museum, the Westfries Museum. There is a room filled with the history of spices and wine. I always hated the smell of nutmeg in that room, but it is one of the most used spices in old recipes and therefore perfect for my blog.
    9. When I was young I always wanted to be an archaeologist.
    10. My favorite movie of all time is The Age of Adaline.
    Liefs Maayke
