    "description": "The Dutch national press is concentrated around a handful of large dailies — De Telegraaf, de Volkskrant, NRC, Algemeen Dagblad and Trouw — each with lifestyle or weekend sections that cover dining trends and openings. Food-specific consumer coverage runs through magazines like Delicious., Foodies Magazine and Albert Heijn's widely-read Allerhande, while the horeca trade itself is best reached through Misset Horeca and Entree Magazine, the two leading B2B titles for restaurant and hospitality professionals. Dedicated food channel 24Kitchen and online platform Culy round out the specialist food media, with national wire agency ANP distributing consumer news nationwide.",
    "tip": "Misset Horeca and Entree Magazine are the two trade titles the restaurant industry itself actually reads, making them the highest-value first contacts; for consumer-facing exposure, Culy's food & travel platform and Delicious. magazine are the most receptive to pitches from independent restaurants.",
