They depended largely on the vegetables they dug out of the ground with their bare hands, such as radishes, fennel, turnips and kale. These vegetables can still be found in the gardens of the Muiderslot today. They grow in the so-called &#8220;Warmoeshoef. The word &#8220;warmoes&#8221; is a combination of &#8220;warm&#8221; and &#8220;muss. The various vegetables, roots, bulbs, cabbages and tubers were eaten hot and literally cooked into mush.     <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New eating habits from Italy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The average medieval person was not keen on eating raw vegetables. But during the 16th and 17th centuries, this perception changed. This was probably due to the influence of eating habits from Italy, where they were less suspicious when it came to eating uncooked vegetables. So-called &#8220;garden salads&#8221; with raw vegetables and garden herbs were after a while unavoidable at dinner. Even the famous 17th century castle lord P.C. Hooft will have delighted his guests at dinner with salads of native and exotic vegetables, as well as fruits and herbs from his own garden. The gardens and orchard, created in the 17th century by writer and poet P.C.Hooft, can still be admired at the Muiderslot.     <\/span><\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n         <\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"my-12 lg:my-24\"  name=\"table\"> \n   <div class=\"container grid lg:grid-cols-12 gap-4\">\n      \n      <div class=\"lg:col-span-6 flex flex-col gap-4 lg:gap-6\">\n         <h2 class=\"text-h2 font-heading font-bold\">What do you need.<\/h2>\n         <div class=\"prose\">\n            <ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 Fennel<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A handful of radishes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Olive Oil<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White wine vinegar<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lemon zest<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Salt and pepper from the mill<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Various fresh garden herbs (you can vary in this, choose what you like)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Parsley, dill, sage and mint<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Basil, chives, arrowroot and wild garlic<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tarragon, lavender and rapeseed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sorrel and lovage<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celery and chard<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rosemary, thyme &amp; oregano<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n         <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n     \n      <div class=\"lg:col-span-6\">\n               <\/div>\n\n   <\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"my-12 lg:my-24\"  name=\"text-media\">\n   <div class=\"container\">\n\n      <div class=\"grid lg:grid-cols-2 gap-y-10 gap-4 lg:gap-12 xl:gap-24\">\n         \n         <div class=\" flex flex-col gap-4 lg:gap-7 lg:order-2\">\n                        <h2 class=\"text-h2 font-heading font-bold\">Recipe garden salad \u00e0 la Muiderslot<\/h2>\n            <div class=\"prose text-lg line-clamp-10 text-media-prose transition-all duration-300\">\n               <p>1.
