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.

They say the spice trade changed the world — today, its legacy is shaping the streets of Paris.
In this episode, we sit down with Eka Moncarre, the driving force behind La Maison de l’Indonésie, a cultural and culinary space bringing the flavors of the Indonesian archipelago to France. From her Peranakan Bangka roots to the release of her celebrated new cookbook, we trace a modern spice route connecting Indonesia and the City of Light.
It’s a story of heritage, migration, and how food carries culture across continents.
Award Highlight: Eka’s cookbook L’Indonésie à la maison recently received major recognition at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2025, winning Best in Asia and Best Bilingual Cookbook.
