Traditional Culinary
Why should you DIY in the kitchen? Because it's fun, an adventure and a wonderful way to get your hands dirty. Moreover, the old crafts such as churning, salting and pickling are increasingly forgotten. Because you are stronger if you know how something works, even if you never put this knowledge into practice. But mainly because messing around and experimenting in the kitchen is fun!
Artisanal culinary shows how you can provide your own food in an adventurous, sustainable way. You go back to basics, where skills such as pickling, churning, smoking, drying and salting are revived. Once you master these skills, a culinary world will open up for you. Not only do you eat healthier, DIY in the kitchen is one big voyage of discovery and the start of your own culinary adventures.
