De IndoBros zijn terug! Vanuit San Diego en LA schakelen Willem-Jan en Jeff met Nederland.
Vandaag maken we een flinke bak riboet aan tafel met de dames van Riboet Verhalenkunst: Elsbeth Vernout en Wendy Ripassa. Met theater, spoken word en oral history brengen zij verhalen, herinneringen en onze geschiedenis tot leven.
Vandaag leggen we de identiteitskaart op tafel en trekken hem genadeloos door de scanner. Want… Hoezo géén Indo? Bestaat er zoiets als een Nep Indo? Een verdwaalde Indo? Of ben je 'Indo by association' als je weet hoe je rijst moet koken en super pedis kunt eten?
Ook op tafel:
• Indo woord van de maand. Voor de mensen die net even té deftig doen. Geen kapsones hier.
• Makan Apah? Wat schaft de Indische pot of wadjan? De belangrijkste vraag van de dag blijft natuurlijk: wat eten we?
Een aflevering over identiteit, koloniale sporen, herinneringen, verhalen en de kunst van het doorgeven.
Kort. Krachtig. Recht voor z’n raap.
Ayo, luisteren maar!

In this episode of The Rice Table, we reflect on the life and legacy of Sri Owen, one of the most influential voices in bringing Indonesian cuisine to a global audience.
Host Jeff speaks with Janice Gabriel, a London-based television producer, food writer, researcher, and curator whom he met at the symposium Indonesian Food Outside Indonesia in Leiden, the Netherlands. Janice moderated the opening plenary, which honored Sri Owen and explored how Indonesian food travels, adapts, and is represented abroad.
Together, they discuss Sri Owen’s lasting impact, the role of diaspora in shaping culinary identity, and the ongoing question of authenticity in a global context.

In this episode of The Rice Table, we explore the connection between Indo-Dutch (Indisch) and Anglo-Indian cultures, two hybrid communities shaped by colonial history, migration, and identity.
We are joined by Bridget White Kumar, an award-winning author and culinary voice known for preserving and sharing the stories and recipes of Anglo-Indian heritage. We discuss how food preserves cultural traditions across generations, from Southeast Asia and India to Europe and the United States.
This conversation dives into Anglo-Indian cuisine, Indo-Dutch food culture, and the lasting impact of empire on family, identity, and belonging.

The Indo Bros zijn terug met een Nederlandstalige aflevering. Vanuit San Diego en Los Angeles schuiven Willem-Jan Brederode (MERAH) en Jeff Keasberry (Chef Jeff) aan, samen met bijna-vaste gast Jess Anthonio uit Almere.
Met een knipoog — “Ik zag vanochtend een Italiaan in de spiegel…” — duiken ze meteen een grotere vraag in: wie ben ik eigenlijk? Ben ik Indo?
Het gesprek draait om Indotiteit: identiteit, afkomst en het gevoel van ergens (of nergens) bij horen.
Speciale gast is fotograaf Armando Ello, bekend van Twijfelindo en Hoezo Indo. In zijn werk en in dit gesprek legt hij precies die vragen bloot waar velen mee rondlopen — over roots, geschiedenis en jezelf herkennen.
Een aflevering die balanceert tussen humor en zelfreflectie, en laat zien dat Indo-zijn misschien juist zit in het blijven stellen van de vraag.

In this episode of The Rice Table, we sit down with Francis Kuijk — Dutch chef, culinary author, and one of the most recognizable voices in Indonesian and Indisch cuisine in the Netherlands.
Francis first captured national attention as a finalist on the TV-show Heel Holland Bakt in 2016, where her baking skills and storytelling through food made a lasting impression. Since then, she has become a passionate ambassador for Indonesian and Indisch food culture, sharing traditional flavors and techniques through workshops, cooking demonstrations, television appearances, and her writing.
She is the author of several acclaimed cookbooks, including Basisboek Indonesisch, Bersama, Manis and Planken met een Indische twist, each reflecting her deep respect for Indonesia’s culinary heritage and its place within Dutch food culture.
Born in the Netherlands and raised in Australia, Francis brings a distinctly Dutch-Australian perspective to her work. Her Australian upbringing, combined with her Dutch-Indonesian roots, influences both her personal style and her approach to food — bridging cultures, memories, and traditions at the table.
In this conversation, we explore identity, migration, and how food becomes a powerful way to tell stories across continents and generations.

They say the spice trade changed the world — today, its legacy is shaping the streets of Paris.
In this episode, we sit down with Eka Moncarre, the driving force behind La Maison de l’Indonésie, a cultural and culinary space bringing the flavors of the Indonesian archipelago to France. From her Peranakan Bangka roots to the release of her celebrated new cookbook, we trace a modern spice route connecting Indonesia and the City of Light.

Helena Smit is a Dutch-Indonesian culinary heritage professional, entrepreneur, and storyteller who sees food as culture, memory, and connection. She is the founder and director of Stichting Eating Habits, exploring the shared food cultures of the Netherlands and Indonesia.

Episode in Dutch - 13
In deze speciale aflevering duiken de Indo Bros en Sis in de vraag:
Hoe versiert een Indo eigenlijk?
Is Indo love language simpelweg: koken = liefde?
En gaat liefde van de man echt door de maag…
of moeten we zeggen: van de mens door de mond — en de volgende dag weer naar buiten?
We praten over waarom Indo’s opvallend vaak géén Indo daten.
Over veranderende tijden, social media, Tinder en andere dating apps.
Over romantiek anno nu versus de stille loyaliteit van vroeger.
Indo Reflectie
In veel Indo-gezinnen werd liefde niet altijd uitgesproken — maar wel gekookt.
Niet altijd gezegd — maar wel gedaan.
Is dat nog genoeg in 2026?
Of moet de Indo-man leren praten in plaats van alleen sudderen?
We hebben voor deze aflevering een vliegtuig gecharterd!
Welkom bij Indo Bros Airlines.
Waar turbulentie gratis is…
maar liefde altijd wordt geserveerd.

In this episode of The Rice Table, we explore what happens when Indonesian cuisine travels far from home — into a place where bold flavors aren’t always immediately understood.
Host Jeff Keasberry welcomes Andita Schirmacher to the virtual rice table. Originally from Indonesia and now based in Germany, Andita discovered her passion for Indonesian cooking after moving abroad and has since made it her mission to bring those flavors into German kitchens.
Alongside nearly twenty years of experience as a marketing manager, Andita balances corporate life with her culinary passion. She’s the founder of Andita’s Culinary Inspirations, has been featured on German television, and continues to build cultural bridges through food.

In this Catch-Up episode of The Rice Table, we welcome back Indonesian-American culinary powerhouse Diana Widjojo.
Five years after our last conversation, Diana shares her journey from Hardena to Rice & Sambal, where she brings Indonesian dining traditions to modern urban tables. Her Rijsttafel is sometimes offered as a Mini Rijsttafel — a scaled-down, contemporary take on the historical Dutch-Indonesian banquet — while Liwetan emphasizes communal, banana-leaf dining, often eaten by hand, to capture the essence of traditional Indonesian feast culture. Check Instagram post here.
Throughout our conversation, Diana reflects on honoring heritage while adapting to modern tastes, cooking between cultures, and creating spaces where Indonesian cuisine can be experienced as both homage and living, evolving tradition.

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.

We’re back baby! Na negen maanden stilte keren de Indo Bros terug, in een fris jasje en met een speciale gast.
Verwacht weer die vertrouwde mix van verhalen, inzichten en die onmiskenbare Indo-flavour. Ze duiken diep in hun Nederlands-Indische roots en brengen het geheel op smaak met humor en levendige discussies.
Dit keer met een primeur: de eerste vrouwelijke gast en niet zomaar een gast; het is de enige echte Jess Anthonio.
Aflevering 12: Branie, Roots & de Innerlijke Indo met Jess Anthonio & Willem-Jan ‘Merah’ Brederode
In deze aflevering van The Rice Table POETcast duiken we in twee fascinerende werelden, die van Branie Stories en Indo genealogie.
Jess Anthonio is journalist, redacteur, creatieve alleskunner, en het brein achter Branie Stories, een platform dat ruimte geeft aan stemmen die te weinig gehoord worden binnen de Indische gemeenschap. We praten met haar over haar achtergrond, haar werk bij Moesson, en haar missie om taboes te doorbreken en verhalen op haar eigen manier te vertellen.
En dan… onze eigen Willem-Jan Brederode aka Merah, die vertelt over zijn levenswerk: stamboomonderzoek. Merah deelt zijn passie voor het uitzoeken van Indo-roots, zijn samenwerking met de IGV, en wat het betekent om het Indo-verhaal letterlijk tot in de wortels te herontdekken.
Van “Rewrite the narrative, reclaim your story” tot “Zoek het uit tot aan opa’s opa in Soerabaja,” dit is een aflevering vol lef, humor, identiteit en historie.
Luister nu en ontdek hoe persoonlijke verhalen én stamboomonderzoek samenkomen in de zoektocht naar de Indische ziel.

Why do noodles have such a hold on us? In this episode, we twirl our forks (and chopsticks) into the comforting, cross-cultural world of noodles. From Italian spaghetti to Chinese lo mein, we explore how these slippery strands bring us warmth, nostalgia, and even a little emotional release.
We’ll talk about the science of food cravings, the ritual of slurping, and why noodles might be the most comforting carbs on the planet. Whether you’re heartbroken, homesick, or just hungry — this one’s for you.
