This cookbook, published in 1867, provides a glimpse into nineteenth century domestic life. As a learner of Dutch, you will encounter formal, older sentence structures and specific culinary vocabulary that differs from modern usage. The text is instructional and descriptive, focusing on kitchen management and measurements. Because the sentences are often long and contain many clauses, it requires careful reading. This book is a useful resource for those interested in historical language patterns and the practical terminology of traditional Dutch cooking.

Questions about this book
What level of Dutch do I need for this book?
The estimate is C1, based on how common the words are and how long the sentences run. It is an approximation, not a test result. With a translation under every sentence you can start one level earlier than you would with a paper copy.
Is this book really free?
Yes. The text is in the public domain and comes from Project Gutenberg, so it costs nothing. In Lingo7 you open the book and read the first page for free; a subscription unlocks the whole library, the audio and the word practice.
How does reading with a translation work?
Lingo7 shows the original sentence and, right under it, the same sentence in your language. Tap a word to see what it means, hear it, and save it for practice. The translation is made while you read, so it works for any book and for 49 languages.
How long does it take to read?
About 9 h 54 min at a native pace, spread over 29 chapters. In a foreign language plan for more: half an hour a day finishes a book of this size in a few weeks.
