The Rice Table
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.

Noodles: The Pull of Comfort
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Why do noodles have such a hold on us? In this episode, we twirl our forks (and chopsticks) into the comforting, cross-cultural world of noodles. From Italian spaghetti to Chinese lo mein, we explore how these slippery strands bring us warmth, nostalgia, and even a little emotional release.
We’ll talk about the science of food cravings, the ritual of slurping, and why noodles might be the most comforting carbs on the planet. Whether you’re heartbroken, homesick, or just hungry — this one’s for you.
