A little bit of home

Every year around Sinterklaas, the Netherlands smells of cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg. Here in New York, that smell is hard to find. So Teddy started baking.

The last few years he made batch after batch of kruidnoten for Dutch friends and families in the city and delivered them himself, all over Brooklyn and Manhattan.

These kruidnoten are handmade and hand-rolled, using the best ingredients found in New York City: real butter (83% fat content), organic wheat flour, and the 75-year-old family recipe for speculaaskruiden from the Steinebach patisserie in Voorschoten, the Netherlands.

This year you can order online, pay right away, and choose whether you want delivery or shipping.

Allergen information: Contains milk and wheat. Manufactured in a facility that also processes nuts and wheat.

NEW

Speculaaskruiden

A famous Dutch spice mix. Original Steinebach Bakery recipe.

This year, I want to offer the speculaaskruiden spice mix as well.

I love baking in my home kitchen, and especially with kids, it's always a fun afternoon of learning, tasting, and eventually enjoying your homemade goods. Original speculaaskruiden are hard to come by in New York, so I want to offer little packages with 40 grams (that's 1.41 oz) of the same speculaaskruiden spice mix I use for the kruidnoten.

The mix is made in-house, combining the best quality ingredients available in the city and, of course, following the original family recipe, so that you and your family can enjoy time together in the kitchen, and at the table.

Allergen information: Contains no known allergens. Manufactured in a facility that also processes nuts and wheat.

Questions

What are kruidnoten?

Small, crunchy Dutch spice cookies (many people call them pepernoten), flavored with speculaas spices like cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg and ginger. In the Netherlands they're everywhere in the weeks before Sinterklaas on December 5.

How do I know when my delivery comes?

After you order, you'll get a confirmation email. Teddy delivers in rounds and will let you know which day he's coming your way.

I live just outside the delivery area. Can you make an exception?

Looking for recipes other than kruidnoten or speculaas? On my Substack, I wrote a recipe for my take on Dutch apple pie, with the speculaas spice mix in the dough and the apple filling!
