Oma's Kitchen
Surinamese recipes and stories from four generations
For years I've been cooking together with my oma (that's Dutch for grandma). Her recipes were never really written down: they lived in her head, in her hands and in an old cookbook full of little notes.
Now they're all coming together in one book, with every story behind them. Explained so that anyone can make them, even if you've never stood next to oma in her kitchen.
Four generations
From oma to me
Oma picked up a lot in Moeke's kitchen, and taught herself even more. She passed it on to my mum and to me. Now I'm writing her recipes down, so they're kept forever.
A cookbook to cook from, and something to pass on.
Moeke
The kitchen where oma often stood, watched and learned so much.
Oma
Fell in love with cooking early and started to experiment.
Mum
Learned to cook from oma, just like I did later on.
Billie
Learned from oma and writes it all down, so it's kept forever.
Food brings us together.
“Let's cook up something unforgettable together.”
I make videos about cooking, and a lot of what I know, I learned from my oma. Come say hi.
