What better way to get to know a city than to take some well-planned walks, stopping off to sample the culinary specialities? This pocket-sized full colour guide is designed for short-break holidays in Amsterdam with a gastronomic touch. Even non-walkers will appreciate the restaurant suggestions, excursions and information about local food. The book describes 2 excursions and 10 city walks, all illustrated with city plans. Each excursion or walk recommends at least one restaurant en roWhat ute serving local cuisine, with photograph, price guide, opening times, sample menus, and recipes for some of their specialities. Other sections include: planning your trip, getting about, food shopping (including health foods and local markets), glossary of food terms and restaurant mini-vocabulary. A special feature is the emphasis on natural local foods suitable for those with food intolerances. On-line updates keep readers abreast of any route or restaurant changes.

This dinky little guide book is perfect for anyone already familiar with Amsterdam who wants to see more, and feast as they go.
If you've seen the sights, visited the museums and experienced the delights of this fair city - and you enjoy troughing, then Walk & Eat Amsterdam is a bit of a treasure.
Food writer, Cecily Layzell has produced a: `light-hearted introduction to Dutch cuisine and eating habits,' and combined it with different walks (including a night yomp), in and around the capital.
Every stroll takes in a different part of the city, or further afield to the North Holland Dune Reserve, listing authentic Dutch eateries and watering holes along the way.
If you're short on time or energy, there are 11 walks of varying distance to choose from, but nothing requiring mountain goat levels of fitness.
Layzell has even gone to the trouble of including a traditional Dutch recipe at the end of each chapter, which could have been its undoing (if you're familiar with normal Dutch cuisine...), but this just adds charm to an already appealing little book.
There is plenty of useful advice about planning your visit including useful transport information and websites, as well as some handy translation for Dutch menu items and everything is presented in a cheerful and easy to read format.
Walk & Eat Amsterdam is a lovingly researched pocket guide and the ideal travelling companion for long-term residents and expat foodies looking for a new and edible dimension to a day out in the capital.

By Jocypri
This little book is great. Pocket-sized, reasonably priced, and as i'm a big foodie exactly what i'd been looking for!
I love the fact it contains recipes for lots of local delights they encourage you to find when you're there, meaning you can make them yourself when you get home.
