Johannes van Dam was one of the Netherlands’ most iconic food writers, and he had a special love for the kroket. After his death, his friends Jonah Freud and Joosje Noordhoek gathered his extensive research into the history and recipes of the kroket, and completed the book he had planned.

Het Krokettenboek combines historical recipes going back centuries with modern versions by well-known Dutch chefs such as Kees Raat and Adriaan van Raab.
