piadina romagnola

Piadina Romagnola, Amsterdam version: an expat recipe.

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 have in common.

Chocolate easter eggs

Chocolate Easter eggs workshop.

Forget Easter egg hunts! This year you can make your own surprise chocolate Easter eggs with fellow members of As Soup As Possible food community.
We’ll explore the origin of Easter eggs, chat about spring and Easter customs in our respective countries, and make our own chocolate eggs.
In Italy, at Easter time people exchange chocolate eggs which contain a surprise.
One of the fun parts of making your own egg as a gift is that you can chose a very personal surprise to hide inside it, for your loved ones to discover.

This time we’ll meet at Bruno’s, a cozy coffee spot in the Jordaan. Bruno, the owner, will welcome us after closing time, to make us taste his coffee, which he scouts with passion and brews with different techniques.


The first cup is included, as well as Bruno’s coffee stories.
If you’d like to fill your chocolate egg with a small surprise, don’t forget to bring it along! It will make your egg an even more special gift.
All ingredients and materials (including wrappings and ribbons) are provided, but feel free to bring any decorations of your choice.
