Food design playground by Marije Vogelzang

Borlotti. Pink, speckled and almost too pretty to cook. Almost.

Pasta e fagioli stories are the heart of next week's Punk Peas Harfest lunch. A concept by @marije_vogelzang and chef in residence @terrisalminen.

One dish. Endless versions. Often claimed by one place, yet cooked all over the country we know as Italy.

So we taste. We compare. And we ask the questions.
What is the common ingredient?
The method? The texture?
What does this dish mean, and why is it so essential to la cucina povera?

Expect subtle differences. And some shocking ones.

A lunch where the conversation matters as much as the pot. 🫘🍝

And that's just lunch. The rest of the day:
🫘 @paulfaassen draws you as a bean
📖 @merijntol presents her new book Hommos
💪 @joel.broekaert on the world history of beans in twelve beans
🌾 @surimams cook Moksi Alesi with you
🥄 @vanjavanderleeden shares her favourite bean recipes
🌱 Ton Vreeken of @vreekenszaden on growing from seed
👩‍🌾 A Taste of Permaculture in the Silent Garden with @sylvia_avontuur
🎶 Make beans dance in stop-motion with @joeriveul
and more...
