    Of Microbes, Pandoro and Love.

    by Angelica

    Although I’ve always known that the microorganisms naturally living on my hands come to be a part of my sourdough starter as I keep taking care of it, I had never stopped to think that the opposite would also be true.

    Sourdough Bread: Your First Recipe.

    by Angelica

    Sourdough bread: the perfect demonstration that simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. A staple for billions of people across the world, bread is in fact a complex product that entails a wealth of knowledge in a 3-ingredient recipe.

    Piadina Romagnola, Amsterdam version: an expat recipe.

    by Angelica

    Of all the flatbreads around the world, there is one that in a certain region of Italy is synonym with holidays: piadina romagnola. Flatbreads are a great example of what I like to call “food universals”: they are a common element to many culinary cultures and help us understand how even the most local, typical, identitarian foods are in fact clear expressions of what humans...

    Salt, windmills and pink feathers. Discovering Trapani’s saline.

    by Angelica

    Salt: the one ingredient you can find in just about every recipe you’ll ever cook is probably the most overlooked, but have you ever wondered where it comes from? As Soup As Possible travelled to the West coast of Sicily, to discover how salt-winning has been shaping the natural landscape in harmony with wildlife for over two thousand years.

apple pie

Dutch apple pie by the book

by Angelica

A warm slice of high apple pie – or, as the natives call it – appeltaart, is one of the first distinctively Dutch things I came to appreciate when I moved to Amsterdam, back in 2012. It’s also the easiest to love about the somewhat austere Dutch cuisine. I must confess I’ll always point guests visiting from abroad in the direction of my favourite appeltaart place, rather than sending them...

Angelica (your obsessive soup dealer)

I am an Amsterdam-based scribbler, doodler, occasional wanderer and home cook. I like food that comes from passion, knowledge and respect. I appreciate taste, care and simplicity on my plate, and will talk to anyone who wants to share their views, experience and values about food. I believe food is a language we all speak. Just like language, it is a way for us humans to define our relationships with ourselves, others and the world. As Soup As Possible is where I collect stories, interviews and recipes, to capture the many faces of these fascinating relationships. I organise food-related events in Amsterdam, aimed at learning from experts, producers and our own shared experience. If you'd like to learn more about recipes and ingredients, while exploring the beauty of cooking and eating with friends and strangers alike, click here to join our community.
