At De Nieuwe Winkel, they cook to make the world a better place. That’s why they only use plants: botanical gastronomy. They look for applications for edible plants. These can be plants that have grown here for centuries, but also plants from further afield. Japanese ginger, Chinese mahogany, and honeyberries from Siberia, for instance, feel surprisingly at home in the Netherlands. Once nature has done its work, it’s their turn. They pick. Smell. Taste. Analyze. Ferment. Cook. Until there’s something on your plate that amazes and overwhelms you.
