Food is never just food. It’s memory, habit, comfort — and identity.

In this special New Year episode of The Rice Table, host Jeff Keasberry shares a personal Dutch-Indonesian story about growing up in the kitchen, learning to cook by tasting, and carrying food traditions across generations and continents.

This episode explores Dutch-Indonesian heritage cooking, the meaning of gezelligheid (warmth and togetherness), and why preserving food culture isn’t about nostalgia, but about understanding where we come from — and how we move forward.

The episode also marks the launch of Jeff’s new cookbook, Dutch Indonesian Heritage Cooking, celebrating Indisch food culture, family recipes, and the stories behind the dishes.

Pull up a chair. Let’s take a seat at The Rice Table.
