Intergenerationele Kookworkshop met Esther & Watini Simin

Intergenerational Cooking Workshop with Esther & Watini Simin Javanese culture holds much within food. Not just flavors, but also stories. In how you stir, how you taste, how you cook for others. During this workshop, Esther and her mother, Watini, will take you into that world, the world of Surinamese-Javanese cuisine, where generations meet in scents, movement, and stories.

Together we'll make two traditional snacks: lemper (sticky rice with spiced chicken or a vegetable filling) and gulung gulung (a rolled pancake with sweet coconut). The ingredients are already there; all we have to do is assemble them. As is often the case in kitchens: with care, a touch of precision, and above all, with stories along the way.

This workshop isn't just about cooking, it's about connecting. That's why we encourage everyone to gather with someone from a different generation. Because if we've learned anything, it's this: food is a bridge. To the past, to each other, to home.

Afterward, participants will take home their homemade snacks and the recipe. But hopefully, they'll also take home something else: a reminder of cooking together, of sharing, of where they come from.

For this workshop, you can only purchase a combination ticket (workshop + performance De Gesuikerde Onderneming). You can purchase a ticket here.
