The New Hague Cookbook, or, the Hague Cookbook, is one of the classical cookbooks of the Dutch cuisine. Since the book was first published in 1934, it has seen more than over 80 reprints.

History
The cookbook was originally compiled for use in the cookery classes of the Domestic Science College at the Laan van Meerdervoort in The Hague. Its recipes were based on the demands of the Dutch kitchen of the nineteen thirties: food should be nourishing, but it should not be a burden on the household budget. The authors of the Cookery Book, Miss Fréderique Mathilde Stoll and Miss Wilhelmina Hendrika De Groot were both teachers at the well-known Laan van Meerdervoort Domestic Science College. In their view a meal should not only be nourishing, but it should give pleasure too. These new views on food soon led to the introduction of the New Hague Cookery Book in many other Dutch Domestic Science Colleges and eventually into the Dutch cuisine.

As it is continually adapted to the latest findings of nutritional science and to the changing tastes of the times, the book remained in high demand for generations. The recipes of the Hague Cookbook are marked by their moderate use of seasoning.

The Wannée Cookbook, the Cookbook of the Amsterdam Domestic Science  Academy, or briefly, the Amsterdam Cookbook, is one of the classical cookbooks of the Dutch cuisine. Since its first edition (1910), it was reprinted over 30 times.

History
The cookbook was originally written as a text book on cooking for the Amsterdam Domestic Science Academy. Here, girls were trained (boys were not allowed) as a housekeeper or maid, or prepared for their traditional role as a housewife. In those days social class divisions were still prevalent in education. Pupils from different social backgrounds were taught separately, even in the same school. Awareness of social differences, encouraged Cornelia Johanna Wannée (1880-1932) to compile a cookbook comprising simple recipes for the less well off, recipes for the middle class purse and recipes for the refined kitchen of the upper classes.

Ten years later, some forty thousand copies of the cookbook had been sold. As it is continually adapted to the latest findings of nutritional science and to the changing tastes of the times, the book remained in high demand for generations.
