Wat een fantastische service. Ik heb enkele relatiegeschenken besteld en een daarvan naar mijzelf laten sturen om te ervaren hoe het pakket eruit ziet. Er ontbrak iets, maar dat bleek mijn eigen fout te zijn geweest. Bij de bestelling heb ik dit over het hoofd gezien.Hoewel de andere pakketten al ingepakt klaar stonden voor verzending, zijn deze in overleg met Jurien aangepast en alsnog verzonden zoals ik ze graag had gewild.Dit geeft aan dat Food & Wood de klanten echt belangrijk vindt. Dank daarvoor.

Pamela thought extensively in advance so that she was perfectly prepared. The quality of both the service and the food was very good! For our wedding we had delicious and beautifully decorated drinks boards, exactly according to our wishes! We also asked if Food & Wood would also like to take care of the layout of our cake table. This was also very well done! Afterwards they neatly packed all the leftovers so that we could enjoy them in the evening, perfect! Unfortunately, we do not (yet) have a photo of the snacks when they were served, only of the neatly served leftovers and the cake table.

Great company, the delivery person reported twice that no one was home (without having been there) and the package was returned to sender. Food & Wood immediately sent another new package and luckily the delivery person came by. Thanks to Food & Wood's quick action, I still received the birthday gift on time. Really great service! Can recommend Food & Wood to everyone.

I gave the Primavera Borrelplank to my sister and her boyfriend, including the free Pinot Grigio wine that they received for free with the monthly promotion and they loved it. The description was ideal for putting the shelf together! :D

Last week was the national Week without Meat and of course we as an organization also participated in it. For example, colleagues could participate in an acquaintance Quiz and have a chance to win a vegetarian drinks box. In the end we had drawn 6 lucky winners. Pamela is happy to think along with you about possibilities and is very service-oriented. I can definitely recommend the drinks box. It was really a gift for my colleagues.

Ik ben op en top tevreden met Food & Wood, fantastische ervaring. Pamela heeft een prachtige grazing table voor onze intieme bruiloftsreceptie neergezet. De gasten waren erg onder de indruk. Ze durfde het eten bijna niet aan te raken, zo’n plaatje was het. Het eten was niet alleen mooi gepresenteerd, maar was ook heerlijk. Iedereen kwam al naar me toelopen voor Pamela’s info.Al met al, zeer tevreden dus!

Grazing Table Catering

Are you familiar with the buffet revolution worldwide: the grazing table? A grazing table is actually an extensive drinks board, but in the size of a complete table! It is a completely new experience, far removed from the traditional buffet as we know it in the Netherlands. It offers so much more and always has something for everyone (Yes, we dare to claim that!).

In de wereld van culinaire verwennerij is de borrelplank een onmiskenbaar hoogtepunt van gezelligheid en samenzijn. U herkent ongetwijfeld het moment waarop vrienden of familie zich rondom een prachtig opgemaakte borrelplank verzamelen. Maar hoe maakt u de juiste keuze tussen de innovatieve Borrelplank van Food and Wood en de traditionele varianten die u wellicht al kent? In deze blogpost nemen wij u mee in de unieke kenmerken van de producten van Food and Wood en zetten deze af tegen de klassieke borrelplanken. Onze vergelijking is bedoeld om u te helpen bij het maken van een weloverwogen keuze die niet alleen in stijl, maar ook in presentatie en smaakervaring uw verwachtingen overtreft. Laten we samen ontdekken welke borrelplank het beste bij uw gelegenheid past.

The Atmosphere of the Snack Board

The Borrelplank by Food and Wood exudes a unique, cozy atmosphere that is perfect for both intimate gatherings and festive occasions. The planks are designed to create a sense of togetherness, encouraging guests to enjoy the balanced flavors and beautiful presentation together.

For example, the shelves are often dressed with freshly made dips, such as Hummus by Hummus & Co or tapenade by Olive, which not only enhance the taste experience, but are also visually appealing. This contributes to an inviting setting, where people can easily relax and enjoy.

Presentation and Quality of the Ingredients

A fundamental feature of the Borrelplank by Food and Wood is the attention to presentation and the quality of the ingredients. Each plank is carefully composed with premium products, making every bite a culinary surprise.

Example of High Quality Ingredients:

  • Cheeses: Artichoke cheese from Cheese shop and Letter from Cristofori.
  • Meats: Lamb sausage from Butcher's shop van der Kloet and prosciutto from Parma.
  • Vegetables: Seasonal vegetables from local growers such as cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.

The colour variation and texture make the planks not only tasty but also visually appealing. This is an important factor in the experience, as presentation is an important aspect of enjoying a snack plank.

Creativity and Unique Combinations of Flavors

Food and Wood excels in creativity and the composition of unique combinations of flavors. The expertise of the chefs is reflected in their ability to combine unexpected ingredients, which often leads to surprising and delicious results.

Examples of Innovative Combinations:

  • Grilled peaches with burrata by Bella Italia.
  • Caramelized onion on a bed of gold balsamic by Acetaia Giustiniana.
  • Spicy nuts by House of Nuts with a dash of sea salt.

These creative combinations distinguish the Borrelplank from Food and Wood from standard options often found on the market. It is the perfect choice for gourmets looking for a unique dining experience.

Why Choose Food and Wood?

The Borrelplank by Food and Wood is not just a collection of snacks, but a carefully composed culinary adventure. Here are some reasons to choose the Borrelplank by Food and Wood:

  • High-quality ingredients with a focus on local and fresh.
  • Unique presentation that stimulates the senses and invites you to taste.
  • Creative and daring combinations that offer new taste experiences.
  • Ideal for any occasion, from casual drinks to formal parties.

With the Borrelplank from Food and Wood you will not only bring a tray full of delicacies into your home, but also an experience that you and your guests will cherish. The combination of atmosphere, presentation and quality makes every drink a special moment.

Features of Traditional Snack Boards

Traditional snack platters are an important part of Dutch food and drink culture. They are often present at social gatherings, parties and informal get-togethers. In this section we will discuss the typical ingredients, presentation and cultural traditions that characterize these platters.

Typical Ingredients

A traditional snack board often consists of a number of familiar ingredients that form the basis for a successful snack. Some of the most common items are:

  • Cheese: Different types of cheese are essential. Think of Gelderse cheese, young cheese, and old cheese such as Belegen Boerenkaas from Henri Willig for example. These cheeses offer a variety of flavors and textures.
  • Sausage: Duroc or Friesland 'Ambachtelijk' is an excellent choice for a traditional sausage. These types of sausage are often handmade and contain more flavor than regular types.
  • Olives: Green and black olives, preferably from brands such as De Tapasclub or Olivio, give a Mediterranean touch and provide variety in flavors.
  • Bread: Fresh, artisan bread such as Ciabatta or a crispy baguette is indispensable. Bakers such as Bakkerij Klootwijk often deliver excellent quality.

The Presentation of Snack Boards

Traditional snack boards often have a simple but effective presentation. They are usually served on wooden boards or plates, which gives a rustic look. Key features are:

  • Symmetry: Ingredients are often placed symmetrically, which makes for an attractive visual.
  • Natural materials: The use of wood and ceramics for bowls and plates enhances the traditional look. A beautiful wooden cutting board from Nordal, for example, can take the boards to a higher level.
  • Minimal decoration: Often little to no additional decoration is used, except perhaps some fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme for added color.

Role of Cultural Traditions

The composition of snack boards is strongly influenced by cultural traditions. In the Netherlands, sharing food is often seen as a social activity. This has led to the following cultural characteristics:

  • Solidarity: Drink platters are often shared by groups, which creates an informal atmosphere and promotes interaction between guests.
  • Regional variations: Although the basic components are pretty much the same, snack platters will vary by region. In Limburg, for example, sweet mustard and Spanish tapas are a hit, while in North Holland, herring is a must.
  • Festive elements: On special occasions, equally popular additions such as mushrooms with garlic butter or shrimp in garlic oil are often added. These can be products from brands such as Gamba's.

Popular Brands and Products

Choosing quality ingredients is a crucial aspect of putting together a traditional snack platter. Here are some recommended brands:

Ingredient Brand Description
Cheese Henri Willig Well-known artisanal cheeses in various flavours.
Sausage Frisian Craft High quality handmade sausage.
Olives The Tapas Club Premium olives in different varieties.
Bread Bakery Klootwijk Fresh, artisanal bread with excellent texture.

By choosing these quality products, one not only creates a tasty snack platter, but also one that reflects the rich Dutch tradition. The popularity of traditional snack platters continues, because they offer a perfect mix of simplicity and taste, culture and social interaction.

Comparison: Food and Wood vs. Traditional Snack Boards

In this section, we analyze the differences and similarities between the Food and Wood snack board and the traditional snack boards that are often served at parties and gatherings. We focus on four important factors: variety, presentation, taste and price. In addition, we discuss consumer experiences and the contexts in which both types of snack boards are best suited.

Variety

Food and Wood Snack Board:

  • Unique combinations: The Food and Wood snack platters are often filled with a variety of artisanal products, such as special cheeses from Cheese masters, artisanal meats from Butcher shop de Wit, and fresh nuts from the region.
  • Seasonal options: Food and Wood also offers seasonal snack platters, which means the content varies depending on the season, ensuring freshness and exciting new flavours.

Traditional Snack Boards:

  • Basic ingredients: A traditional drinks platter often consists of more familiar items such as aged or mature cheese, sausages such as salami or chorizo, and olives.
  • Limited variation: While traditional snack boards are flavorful, they often lack the unique and curated experiences that the Food and Wood boards offer.

Presentation

Food and Wood Snack Board:

  • Visually appealing: The presentation of the Food and Wood snack board is an art in itself. Products are presented on handmade wooden boards, which are made of sustainable wood.
  • Creative layout: The planks are often beautifully decorated with a mix of colours and textures, making them a feast for the eyes.

Traditional Snack Boards:

  • Functional presentation: Traditional snack boards are usually less focused on visual appeal and more on functionality, often simply presented on a large plate or platter.
  • Less creative: This can lead to a more monotonous appearance, especially when there is little variety in the offering.

Taste

Food and Wood Snack Board:

  • Layering of flavors: Thanks to the selection of high-quality and special products, the Food and Wood board offers a complexity of taste that most traditional boards lack. The combination of flavors and textures makes every bite unique.
  • Quality of ingredients: Ingredients such as the organic tapenade from Olive's Delight and the artisanal chocolate of Chocolate by the Sea take the taste experience to a higher level.

Traditional Snack Boards:

  • Familiar flavors: The flavours are often recognisable and familiar, making them accessible to a wide audience, which is a plus for less adventurous eaters.
  • Less distinctive: However, the limited variety often leads to a less exciting taste experience.

Price

Food and Wood Snack Board:

  • Higher price range: The price of a Food and Wood snack board often varies between €40 and €100, depending on the products chosen and the dimensions of the board.
  • Justified costs: Although the price is higher, this is often justified by the premium ingredients and unique presentation.

Traditional Snack Boards:

  • More affordable: Traditional snack platters can be significantly cheaper, ranging from $15 to $40, making them more accessible for larger events and informal gatherings.
  • Less variety for the price: However, for some consumers, a lower price may also reflect the quality and variety offered.

Consumer experiences

When comparing consumer experiences, it appears that preferences are strongly dependent on the occasion. For a chic reception or a gourmet evening or drinks, many choose the Food and Wood plank because of the presentation and the unique flavors. In contrast, for a casual gathering with friends or a family gathering, the traditional drinks planks are often a more obvious choice.

Contexts

  • Formal events: Food and Wood snack boards are ideal for formal occasions, weddings or business meetings, where presentation and quality are the priority.
  • Informal meetings: Traditional snack platters are perfect for a relaxing evening with friends or during a barbecue, where coziness and simplicity are key.

This shows that both the Food and Wood snack board and the traditional snack board have their own unique advantages and ideal usage moments. Each option offers something special, depending on the setting and personal preferences of the guests.

Which drinks platter suits your taste?

In conclusion, it can be said that both the Borrelplank from Food and Wood and the traditional borrelplanks have their own charms and advantages. The modern twist of Food and Wood offers an innovative experience that can surprise, while the traditional borrelplank remains a reliable option for most occasions. It is advisable to try out both styles to discover which one best suits your taste and the atmosphere you want to create during your drinks moments.
