Wow what a friendly and warm welcome at this forum!
I am from the west of holland, near The Hague. Well, holland is quite small, so everything is quite near something. In about 2-3 hours you can drive from one side to the other side of the country, and you are already in another country.... something different than Australia. If you like I can give you some dutch recipes, of recipes which are popular in Holland when I know how to convert the cooking to the Thermomix..
