About This Podcast
The Rice Table Podcast is a vibrant celebration of food, culture, and heritage — bridging East and West. Hosted by Jeff Keasberry, author of four cookbooks on Dutch-Indonesian cuisine, each episode explores a new topic, from iconic dishes and hidden culinary gems to family recipes, customs, history, and cooking tips.
At his table, Jeff welcomes passionate guests for engaging and often surprising conversations. Some episodes are in Dutch — because, like his cuisine, being bilingual is simply part of the flavor.
