Dutch tradition: celebrating Queensday (Koninginnedag) in Amsterdam

People dress up in orange, visit the Vrijmarkt (one can sell without a permit so many people do a kind of garagesale in the innercity), go to open air parties and just have fun. Royal family visits some towns and suffers through Dutch old traditional games and songs and this is all broadcasted life.

This is Dutch 2: applepie with cream

The most famous pie made in the Netherlands: Applepie (appeltaart). You can make it yourself or buy one that tastes home made at the Albert Heijn Supermarket. Traditionally accompanied by some tea or coffee. The "slagroom" (cream) has sugar in it unlike seen in neighboring countries.

Recipee (found at: http://dutchfood.about.com/od/breadspastriescookies/r/ApplePie.htm   )

No site about Dutch Food would be complete without a recipe for traditional Dutch Apple Pie. This is the one dessert you'll come across again and again in cafes and at homely birthday parties around the Netherlands. The Dutch are right to be proud of their pie. After all, they've been perfecting it for centuries. My twist - speculaaskruiden - came about one day when I was making apple pie using a very old recipe and ran out of cinnamon, so I used speculaaskruiden instead. The result received so many compliments that I've used it ever since.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sultanas (300 g)
• 2 tbsp brandy (or cognac or rum)
• 2 eggs
• 4 cups self-rising flour (500 g)
• 1 1/3 cup cubed ice cold butter (300 g)
• 1 cup brown sugar (175 g)
• A pinch of salt
• Zest of 1/2 lemon
• 4 lb tart apples (1.85 kg)
• Juice of 1/2 lemon
• 1/3 cup brown sugar (75 g)
• 2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp 'speculaaskruiden' (or pumpkin pie spices)
• 1 tbsp corn starch (corn flour)
• You will need:
• A large springform cake pan (24 cm x 6.5 cm/10" x 2 1/2")
• Special Note: I've adapted the recipe after a reviewer posted that there was a problem with my conversion of the self-rising flour measurement. Indeed, I remeasured it, and it should be 4 cups. Luckily, the European weight measurements in brackets were correct all along, but I apologise for any inconvenience caused by my slip-up to those of you who used the American measurements. I've also rechecked the rest of the ingredients and all the other measurements are fine. As for the other reviewer comment, re. the use of sugar, my recipes are always written in the order of ingredient use, so the first time sugar is appears in the method it will be the first sugar listed in the ingredients list (1 cup for the crust), and the second time sugar is mentioned it will be the second amount of sugar listed (1/3 cup for the filling), etc. I have clarified this in the method, too.

Preparation:

In a small bowl, steep the sultanas in the brandy for at least an hour (or put on high in the microwave for 2 minutes and allow to cool). Preheat the oven to 347 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Whisk the eggs, adding most of it to the flour in a large mixing bowl (keeping about a tbsp of the egg behind to brush the pie with later). Add the cubed butter, the first cup of brown sugar, salt and lemon zest. Knead dough using a stand mixer with a dough attachment (or by hand) until the dough comes together into a ball. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, peel and core the apples, cut them into bite-sized pieces and mix with the sultanas, lemon juice, the remaining 1/3 cup brown sugar, and spices. Sprinkle the corn starch (corn flour) over and mix well.
Grease the pie tin and use 3/4 of the dough to cover the bottom and sides of the dish. Add the apple mixture to the pie dish and firmly press down. Use the rest of the dough to make the lattice topping. You'll need about 5 strips. Arrange three strips one way and two the other way, press to fix it to the sides, and then fold the dough back in towards the pie. It should not be hanging over the pie dish, otherwise it will stick.
Brush the pastry with the egg wash and place in the oven to bake for approximately 1 hour. Allow the pie to cool in the springform and then carefully turn out. Serve Dutch Apple Pie with whipped cream, or vanilla or cinnamon ice-cream.
Makes enough for about 12 slices.
TIPS:

I use 'Goudreinetten' apples, not only because they're the variety I've found in most of the old-fashioned cookbooks and are therefore the most traditional variety to use, but also because I like their tart bite and the way they hold their shape when baked.

If you don't have speculaaskruiden, you can use pumpkin pie spices instead, or you can simply stick to the original recipe and use 3 tsp ground cinnamon. I do love the depth of flavor that the speculaaskruiden seems to add. You can also make your own speculaaskruiden

I don't bother to roll the dough out and cut it as it is pretty sticky and causes a mess. I simply wet my hands and shape it by hand, pressing the dough into the pie dish in a uniform thickness. As for the lattice-work, I shape them by hand into longish sausage shapes, which I press flat onto the pie. The pie will rise and hide a multitude of sins.

Vacancy: Assistant Professor of English Language (1,0 fte)

Amsterdam aantrekkelijk voor kennismigranten uit de BRIC-landen

Sorry this newspaper article is only available in Dutch

Hoogopgeleiden uit de BRIC-landen (Brazilië, Rusland, India en China) zijn positief over het wonen in Amsterdam. Kennismigranten, hoogopgeleide buitenlanders die naar Nederland komen om een bijdrage te leveren aan de kenniseconomie, zijn belangrijk voor Amsterdam. Als arbeidspotentieel, maar ook omdat ze de banden tussen Amsterdam en het land van herkomst versterken.

Een band met Amsterdam is voor deze kennismigranten een band voor het leven. Dit is extra belangrijk wanneer het opkomende economische grootmachten betreft zoals Brazilië en India. Dat blijkt uit de scriptie 'Kennismigratie vanuit de BRIC-landen naar Amsterdam', die Alwin Groen - inmiddels afgestudeerd als master Economische Geografie aan de Universiteit Utrecht - schreef tijdens zijn stage bij de Dienst Ruimtelijke Ordening. Groen voerde daarvoor gesprekken met hoogopgeleiden uit de BRIC-landen, woonachtig in Amsterdam.

Vrij gevoel

De kennismigranten uit de vier groei-economieën zijn met name positief over de openbare ruimte in Amsterdam. Ze prijzen de stad om haar veiligheid, milieukwaliteit, openbaar vervoersysteem en fietsinfrastructuur. Daarnaast dragen culturele factoren bij aan het positieve imago van Amsterdam. De multiculturele aard van de stad, het gegeven dat er goed Engels wordt gesproken en de individualistische samenleving komen hierbij naar voren. "Hoogopgeleiden uit de BRIC-landen zijn afkomstig uit megasteden als Beijing en Sao Paulo, waar de beste banen voor handen zijn," vertelt Groen. "De grootte van die steden brengt negatieve effecten met zich mee, zoals geluidsoverlast, milieuoverlast en onveiligheid. Stuk voor stuk punten waarop Amsterdam zich positief onderscheidt. Ook hebben de migranten het idee dat hun kennis hier volledig tot recht komt. In Amsterdam worden ze niet als allochtoon aangekeken, maar beoordeeld op de wijsheid die ze meebrengen. Dat geeft een 'vrij gevoel'. 
Het moeilijkste is echter om de groep voor Amsterdam te interesseren. Bij het bepalen van de migratiekeuze behoort Amsterdam niet tot de voornaamste opties. "Kennismigranten uit de BRIC-landen zijn vrijwel allemaal gericht op de grootste of meest prestigieuze steden ter wereld. Londen, New York, Boston. En daar houdt het op. Ze gaan voor het meest bekende en kijken niet snel verder." Daarmee blijven steden als Amsterdam, met tal van onvermoede kwaliteiten, onderbelicht. "Meerdere respondenten wisten in eerste instantie niet dat in Amsterdam goed Engels wordt gesproken. Dat is jammer, want zo loop je veel migranten mis. Als ze hier eenmaal wonen, zijn ze heel tevreden. Maar zie ze hier eerst maar eens te krijgen."

In opkomst

De dienst Economische Zaken van de gemeente Amsterdam onderkent het belang van de BRIC-landen. Via de China- en India Desk wordt structureel geïnvesteerd in het aantrekken van bedrijven uit de vier groeilanden. Groen geeft de dienst mee Amsterdam internationaal beter te promoten. "Dat kunnen we doen door met specialistische onderwijsinstellingen naar onderwijsbeurzen in de BRIC-landen te gaan. Daarnaast is het belangrijk om te blijven investeren in toerisme - de eerste kennismaking met Amsterdam begint vaak met een toeristisch bezoek." Wanneer op die wijze wordt voortgegaan, voorziet Groen een positieve toekomst. "De mate waarin Amsterdam kennismigranten uit de BRIC-landen aantrekt, is op dit moment nog vrij gering. Maar Amsterdam is hard in opkomst." Uit statistische gegevens blijkt dat het aantal inwoners uit de BRIC-landen in Amsterdam de afgelopen tien jaar meer dan vertienvoudigd is, van 609 naar 7374. "En dat is een stijging die je in weinig andere Europese steden terugziet. Er is duidelijk potentie voor de toekomst."

De BRIC-landen

Sinds 2001 wordt de term 'BRIC' gehanteerd voor de vier snelst groeiende economieën ter wereld. Onlangs bleek uit onderzoek van het Centraal Planbureau dat ongeveer 100.000 banen en bijna twee procent van het nationaal inkomen van de Nederlandse economie te danken zijn aan handel met de BRIC-landen.

Job description

As a PhD student at the Leyden Academy on Vitality and Ageing, you will be a part of a small scientific staff. You will become part of a multidisciplinary project that
explores the intergenerational transmission of family violence. As is known, neglect and abuse is sometimes transmitted from generation to generation, but it is unclear how this transmission actually takes place and which factors play a role. Does this mainly have a genetic background, are factors in the environment involved or is it the interaction between the two? We try to answer this question in a family study that includes three generations in a multiplex, multigenerational and case-control design.
You will be part of the multidisciplinary research team in this project. Your main focus will be with the older generation and on the qualitative research methods that are involved in this project, but you will also be involved in the other parts of the research project.

Requirements

You hold a MA in Social Science. You are well-acquainted with qualitative research methods and interview methods. Besides, you have interest in dealing with other research methods such as questionnaires and observational techniques. You are able to work independently and in a team and you possess excellent communication skills, including fluently written and spoken Dutch and English. You are able to take initiative, you are enthusiastic and inquisitive and you have the creative skills to find solutions, though with a critical eye for your work.

A flexible work approach and ability to cope with stress is essential and you will be expected to present and publish your findings. We may expect you to assist in organizing an international conference on the project topic.

Conditions of employment

You will be employed on a 40-hour week basis. The appointment is for 4 years. After 1 year the employment relationship will be appraised and either of the parties may then indicate whether the relationship is to be continued, with stating the reason(s).

The terms of employment offered by the Leyden Academy are highly favorable. For example, you will receive a 8% holiday remuneration, a year-end bonus and an individual pension arrangement.

Contract type: Temporary, 4 years
