During a cooking workshop in Giethoorn you cook together outdoors over a wood fire and prepare a complete 4-course dinner with fresh ingredients. The workshop takes about four hours and is suitable for groups from 8 people. You cook with Dutch ovens, a wood fire and briquettes, and afterwards you eat the dishes you have prepared together.
The cooking workshop in Giethoorn is an active outdoor activity in which you prepare a full dinner together over a wood fire; everyone joins in. The group is split into pairs or small groups, and each group gets started on one or more parts of the menu, so that together you end up with a complete 4-course dinner.
Depending on the menu of the day, you might be smoking fish, baking bread, making soup or pasta, grilling vegetables, preparing meat or baking a dessert, for example. Meanwhile the fire has to keep burning, so you work together, cook and spend your time outdoors.
During the cooking workshop you learn to cook with Dutch ovens and different kinds of cast-iron pans, using a wood fire and briquettes. A Dutch oven is a heavy cast-iron pot that lets you cook outdoors in several ways, and during the workshop you get to know the techniques used for this.
You do not cook in an ordinary kitchen where you set a temperature. Together you make sure the fire and the heat suit the dishes being prepared. That way you get to know a different way of cooking.
The cooking workshop is held outdoors at Hoeve Schouwenburg in Giethoorn; the location lies between the water of Giethoorn and Weerribben-Wieden National Park. While you cook outdoors, you look out on one side over passing boats and on the other side towards the nature reserve.
So you cook outdoors and over a real fire, not in a cooking studio. That combines well with a day on which you want to see more of Giethoorn.
The cooking workshop takes about four hours. The workshop starts with an introduction, after which the group is divided and everyone gets started on preparing the dishes.
The programme starts at around 15.30 as standard with the cooking workshop and the preparation of the 4-course dinner. During the afternoon the different courses are prepared, cooked and of course eaten together, and at around 19.00 the cooking workshop ends with coffee, tea and cake from the fire. You will see the exact times and availability for your chosen date when you book.
The wood-fire cooking workshop can be booked from 8 people and is suitable for groups of up to about 40 people. Because the cooking is done in smaller groups, everyone stays involved during the workshop and each group gets its own part of the menu to prepare.
The cooking workshop is therefore suitable for:
Because you have to make something together, you naturally work together. At the end everyone sits down at the table to eat the result.
The cooking workshop consists of the outdoor cooking, a complete 4-course dinner and non-alcoholic drinks. During the workshop coffee, tea and soft drinks are included, and the afternoon ends with coffee or tea and a cake that is also prepared on the fire.
Alcoholic drinks such as beer and wine are not included in the standard price and can be paid for on site; Radler 0.0 is also not one of the included drinks. So you do not need to go somewhere else for dinner after the workshop, because preparing the dinner and eating it together are part of the activity.
The price of the wood-fire cooking workshop depends on the current rates and the date you choose, so always check the current price when you book. You select the date you want and the number of participants online, after which you see whether the cooking workshop is available and which price applies at that moment.
The workshop includes the cooking activity, the 4-course dinner and coffee, tea and soft drinks. Do you want to adapt the programme or combine the cooking workshop with other activities? Then you can also make an information or price request first.
A cooking workshop in Giethoorn suits a company outing because working together becomes part of the activity naturally; the participants have to make sure that all the dishes end up on the table. Everyone is busy for the whole afternoon.
One group can, for example, prepare bread while another group works on vegetables, meat, fish or the dessert, and in the end all the parts come together in one dinner. That makes the workshop suitable for colleagues who want to do something together in an informal way, and after cooking you eat the result together and there is time to talk in a relaxed way.
For a family or friends outing, too, cooking outdoors in Giethoorn is an activity in which everyone can join in together. You do not need to be an experienced cook. You cook together, learn new techniques and eat what you have made.
The workshop can therefore be part of a family day, a weekend with friends, a birthday or another outing together. Because the activity takes about four hours and dinner is included, the cooking workshop easily forms the afternoon and evening programme of a day in Giethoorn.
The cooking workshop can be combined with other activities in Giethoorn, so you can explore the village and its surroundings first and finish the day with outdoor cooking.
