Suppose you're throwing a party. Then, of course, you're going to stock up on the necessary drinks And with drinks, there must also be food, because otherwise everyone will be wasted and you never want to clean up. You can dive into the kitchen yourself, have a few friends act as servers or put some delicious things on large platters. Making it yourself is fun but a lot of work, so you can cheat a little if you want. Namely, by picking up snacks from the best caterers. If you live in Amsterdam, I'll give you some nice addresses. Also, make a nice gin & tonic bar. At least you should have shaken it yourself.

Ali

Besides being a very cozy Turkish restaurant where you can eat the tastiest baked eggplant, you can also pick up snacks. Ali is very good at dips. Hummus, eggplant puree, yogurt sauce... And that is served with flatbread. That's airy bread that you can tear and dip into the dips.

Horseradish

This is a caterer and a caterer, so you can also use it if you're throwing a huge party and really don't want to cook in the kitchen yourself. I'm a fan of their quiches. Order a few, cut them into small pizza slices, and you have delicious little snacks. Both cold and warm are tasty.

Marqt

Marqt is the luxury supermarket, so you have to dig a little deeper into your pockets, but then you have rows full of the tastiest nuts, vegetable chips, cheeses, dips, breads, and olives. Here you really have everything in one store.

Friska

Here you buy super healthy sushi rolls. All just a little different than the white sushi rice, but replaced by quinoa or couscous. Especially fun if your company mostly consists of ladies, because maybe men find this a bit creepy and too healthy.

Stach

A store where I always linger way too long. They sell such delicious (and healthy!) goodies there.

The Cheese Room

That says enough, right? Let the nice people who work there inform you, and you'll go home with a bag full of the most delicious cheeses. You can also buy olives and luxury crackers there. You're all set.

Of course, you can go to these stores, but also very handy is Foodora.nl. There you order what you want (can also be from different stores) and a nice guy brings it on a bike. Okay, sometimes it's also ladies.

Oh yes, I have no shares and this is not sponsored, I'm just giving you some tips.
