Beautiful area and town. Such hearty and delicious food. No microwave chicken fingers or macaroni and cheese for the young lady. She eats what has been served.

My wife and I were fortunate to live in Maastricht in the early 1970s for a couple of years, it's the best place we ever have lived and have happy memories of our time there.

Great video. I have been a lover of ancient grain spelt for years. Great to see him using it along with mash from Brewery for his bakery. This guy should be awarded a medal for his contribution to his community.

Now this is what free enterprise looks like! This is real free market. This is what schools should be. Look at the lessons they have learned in this integrated learning experience...even history. Look at the enthusiasm. Kids LOVE learning like this. Hands on! And all other senses stimulated.

I love Holland. I lived in Tilburg when I was a child and miss being there. Maastricht is beautiful. I love the people.

Absolutely delightful! My mother is from Bavaria and we were raised in the Midwest. We always had delicious food and my mom taught us so many things. At almost 60, I credit these wholesome foods and habits, low “doing” to a very happy lifestyle, which I also taught our son. Thanks to the foodie movement in CA and many other states, we get a little of this loveliness

Dear Mr Frank van Eld....I do admire what you're doing, because when you spent time learning the chilren about baking, you make sure that your work will live forever. You've got an incredible lovely family, you all seems so quiet and calm...and the mill is lovely, you're a real storyteller....all the best from Thomas, Denmark

4:07 : [Narrator: "Just before eight, Frank's wife and daughter arrive at the bakery. Ilsa still has some time before she needs to be at school"]. Ilsa [using pizza cutter to portion out dough] "I can be useful here. So I come to the bakery almost every day." That little girl has a better work ethic than a lot of adults!! Great channel, loved this episode.

April When you are a child work is seem as play. I worked every morning in my aunt’s restaurant as a child. But to me it was fun. By age 5 i could do the register to the amazement of customers. When i grew up and had to take a job i disliked out if necessity i felt very differently about work. Now that i once again do what o love, feelings change again. It isn’t about work ethic. It’s about doing what you enjoy.

Nice place,the children seem good-mannered,clean and tidy people.A few years ago I visited The Netherlands the people were so friendly.

Do you see how clean the streets are and along the road sides ... something that is so rare these days... Beautifully built town/villages and beautiful countryside.

that is the reputation of cleanliness of the dutch people . in amsterdam, the streets were swept every day after the mess tourists leave everywhere .

Very interesting show. The food, the farmers, the brewer, the bread, cave tour. Happy living!

...and not one person staring at their mobile device. Very refreshing!

Yes, I noticed that at the end. I just love that.

I lived there for 3 years. Best bread in the world by far. I am always harping on to people how amazing the bread and pastries were there. Unfortunately I am now gluten intolerant and I think it's probably from those years binging on all that fabulous bread!

I have Dutch ancestors. First time seeing the Netherlands. Thanks.

Love the Dutch people, I have visited almost all of Europe and seen many beautiful place, but I love the Netherlands because it has the best and friendliest people in Europe.

Wow I really have enjoyed this little documentary on bread and there beautiful village, I really want to move to holland or ad least visit someday. every thing they have made has such passion in it. It so refreshing to see people using such fresh ingredients. it's unbelievable and really beautiful.

Love Holland from Indonesia 🧡

Beautiful. Love to see the dough go in the ovens and come out golden bread, ready to be torn with the hands and buttered or eaten plain with that lovely meat stew. Only thing missing here is the heady aroma of bread baking. Thats how it smells as you approach Heaven !

Best known worldwide for the Maestro Andre Riue and company. Beautiful friendly town.

Very good video. originally thought I was going to watch another bread making show. But I'm glad I stayed around for the whole show. Thank you.

I want to go and live there! The food looks outrageous and delicious..

This serie is a masterpiece！So underrated❤

Well done Frank, what a wonderful life you have made,

This is the cutest episode of the series.

Wonderful to see such a lifestyle. Thank you for filming this and making it available in the US.

What a delightful film. Heretofore, all I knew about Maastricht was it location and description and as the home of Andre Rieu’s Johann Strauss Orchestra. My wife and I attended one of his concerts in Florida.

Ahhh, brings back my childhood of going to visit our Opa's and Oma's in Arnhem and Applescha. Best memories I have.

I have been a baker for many, many years! Some very interesting techniques! LOVE IT! :)

Love to see these young baker boys so enthusiastic about their work.

Just discovered this channel and signed up pronto. I want to live and eat there. A beautiful slow pace, something we all should strive for in our lives. On to the next video!

Thank you, this is gold!👌

Love grandma’s game. Silly, most fun.

HEAVEN on earth! Everything locally grown/made. How wonderful.

Dutch parents are so awesome.

You must've had good ones, my mother had agrophobia, my father a bad temper! We kids were always dead scared of him and ended up hating him! I could not get out if the house fast enough! Roman Catholic, yuck!

thank you for the wonderful film !! I truly enjoyed it !

Sorghum is commonly used in the United States, as the source of carbohydrates in a regional variant of molasses. It might be useful as a cane-sugar substitute in stroop or jam recipes.

Fantastic documentary. Absolutely loved it 👏👏👏

Frank has many passions! It is great to see. Especially when he was gently running his fingers through the tall grains. Beautiful episode. Thank you...

Dutch potatoes!!!!! One of the many things I miss dearly about living in the Netherlands.

What a delightful journey into food and culture! Enjoyed it immensely. Great video, audio, and content. Excellent editing! Subscribed.

wow, I really want to try that sourdough

It looks so idyllic! Of course, they have their own issues, but life here seems so charming for this family. Miss my "Bauern Brot".

I really enjoyed this video, couldn’t stop thinking what wholesome life

What an excellent documentary, the passion that goes into each process is just fantastic.

I enjoyed this very much! Franks' approach to his bread making, utilising very local ingredients, was good to see but then up popped this idea of growing sorghum, a grass with no history in Europe let alone Maastricht. I wonder how that worked out. Maastricht looked very appealing and worth a visit sometime.

sorghum is a high nutrient crop grown where it is the main source of nutrition . but where the soil is poor and other nutrients are available, spelt and buckwheat are mostly grown . rye and barley grown for beer, oats for the chattel . wheat was in the rich land area and mostly reserved for the court .

Thanks for making this beautiful vid 🙏🏻

I enjoyed this film very much. My thanks for posting it.

I love it!! I ate fresh bread everyday when I visited Holland MMMM!!

Somehow I stumbled on this video and am so glad I did. What a wonderful place this is, now I want to visit and also taste that bread.

The kid's expression at 7:15 "went to war and never came back," priceless.

I love all the little details.. And the sounds of other languages is wonderful too... Food is such a marvelous aspect of life

Very informative and enjoyable video! Thanks!

I really enjoyed your vdo and will watch more of them.

It’s a lovely city and the whole of Limburg is very pleasant.

Idyllic. Its cool they have that multigenerational thing going on. Its a little more bootstrap in the US. I helped Peter and Laura install their very first used oven in Great Falls, MT. They went on to be Great Harvest Bread Co.

This video totally makes me want to visit this bakery in Holland...and Holland in general....but I need to see this beautiful mill wheel.

Well....with "Holland" you'll end up in the west, it's in the south-east of the Netherlands or Nederland XD.

awesome ... I love the way these little towns and villages do things as they carry on traditions and improve on quality to produce the best products for consumption.

Loved it! Very interesting. As for Sorghum , we grow it in USA for years as a cattle feed, among other uses.

I loved this whole story. Such a wonderful way of life.

Thank you wocomo Cooks I am always enchanted by your tales

Fabulous ! Thanks for sharing a but of your lives ! Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you ! XOXOX

A very refreshing video.

Good to see both boys and girls involved in the classes. All look yummy.

Frank & Family & Company have got it going on! The bread looks FANTASTIC! 🍞🥐🥖😋

What a wonderful film about a wonderful baker and his family!

wow super mouthwatering

It's mesmerising to watch

Very nice informative video. Loved every minute.

Maastricht is an awesome place and I can hardly wait to visit again and try the bakery!

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL VIDEO!

What a delightful family and say of life

What a wonderful video. I learned a lot.

Wow look how clean those buckets are

What a nice life they have. He is an awesome family man.

Wonderful video. A beautiful family.

Great video. KZread should recommend it more.

What a wonderful city with nice people !

I baked our family bread out of spelt for a year; once you get used to the loft and gluten you can bake a loaf very close to wheat but more flavorful. Thanks for showing the many recipes.

What a wonderful life these people have.

great production quality!

I enjoyed this video very much! -Diana from the usa.

Excellent.

Amazing people. Loved watching them :)

Love it, wonderful lifestyle.

all that food looks friggin delicious

Beautiful place, healthy and delicious food, god I wish I lived there!!

Great video! Thank you for sharing :)

love this channel finally I found English😊❤👍😍

Beautiful.

That meat dish: Maastrichter sauer Fleisch is realy a surprising treat. If you ever have the opportunity don't hesitate. It takes a lot of time to prepare, and you need the right ingredients, but I can recommend it. It is local tradition in the best way you can get.

Making pancakes with bakon and apples is something i just CANNOT fathom.....at all :O

Wow, I wish that was my life! And so much good food.

I’m making plans to visit this wonderful place.

I agree with all the comments, what a refreshing show:)

After watching this, I would love to visit Holland and Maastricht specially just to check out lunch at Frank's bakery!

"Perfect for a hot summer's night dinner"!!!! It doesn't get hot in any part of the Netherlands lol. Oh well, weather aside, this video has made me reminisce on my youth in Holland and the best parents a child could hope for and now I'm going to try making bread from sorghum flour which is available here and maybe some taai taai to take me back to my childhood.
