Dutch cuisine is shaped by the country’s location in the fertile North Sea river delta of the European Plain, giving rise to fishing, farming (crops and domesticated animals), and trade by sea, especially the spice trade.
The cuisine has changed remarkably during the 20th century. Influenced by the eating culture of its former colonies, particularly the Dutch East Indies, today’s Indonesia, it has become more cosmopolitan and most international cuisines are represented in it.
