Radio Oedipus

This week on Radio Oedipus we head to the Netherlands’ newest food hotspot: Nijmegen. Chefs Do Bongers (Basic Theory Ferments) and Emile van der Staak (Restaurant De Nieuwe Winkel) are passionate advocates of local, plant-forward food. Could they be shaping the future of gastronomy? Michelin certainly thinks so, as it’s just awarded Restaurant De Nieuwe Winkel one star for the quality of its food, and a green star for its sustainable way of working. Tune into find out what’s cooking in Nijmegen. Useful LinksRestaurant De Nieuwe Winkelhttps://denieuwewinkel.com/Basic Theory Fermentshttps://www.basictheoryferments.nl/

This week we talk beer and beats with Sander Nederveen.It turns out that our head brewer is a massive (hip) hop head, so for one episode only we put him on the other side of the mic. He rocked up to the studio to spin some vinyl and riff on the similarities between sampling records and recipes.Can he kick it? Tune in to find out.

When Rozebunker first started they dreamt of making sodas that championed local ingredients and Dutch water (which as any Dutchie will proudly tell you is the best in the world). But now their mission is much bigger: to eliminate food waste and replace the bloated soda industry. On their fruit farm near Utrecht, Emile and Tom create new flavour worlds by telling stories to our taste buds. They turn the fruit they grow and rescue from other suppliers into syrup, and the leftovers from their syrup making into jam - but ultimately they want to develop anything and everything that tingles your tastes buds and sparks conversation about sustainability. Emile and Tom join us straight from the farm to tell us how they’re going to take down Coke and categorise the different flavours of seaweed, including pineapple?!Useful LinksRozebunkerhttps://rozebunker.nl/ Omnipollo's Karolina (Hard Seltzer)https://omnipollo.com/collections/store/products/karolina-paloma-sour-hard-seltzerOmnipollo's Neophresco (Hard Seltzer)https://omnipollo.com/collections/store/products/neophresco-karpologi
