Some claim that the Cocos Balls were more or less invented by Madame Cocos. Her passion for baking and love for coconut form the basis for several delicious recipes. You can recognize the true ‘cocos balls’ by their unique flavor—they are perfectly shaped, delightfully crisp, and super fresh.

Sergeant Pepper serves Indian food with a unique twist, all from a converted Fiat Ducato camper. From curry to kulfi, and spice mix to pickle, everything is homemade!
Founded in 2015 by Robbie and Manon Schouten, Sergeant Pepper was born from a deep love for Indian cuisine after working in an Indian restaurant. Following a seven-month culinary journey through Asia, we were inspired to share our passion for Indian food with you.
We believe food should be both delicious and healthy, so we use only fresh, seasonal ingredients whenever possible. Will we see you at Ambacht in Beeld?
Let Chef Aicha take you on a journey to the Moroccan souq.
Chef Aicha, an expert in fresh spices, teams up with the Kolenkit Koks to prepare briwats for the Ambacht in Beeld Festival. These triangular pastries are a staple of Moroccan cuisine, with each cook adding their unique twist. The filling, the flavors, and the delicate handling of phyllo dough make this dish an art form.
The story of the Kolenkit Koks is as rich as their dishes. Social scientist Eline Hansen (UvA) discovered the hidden culinary talents of women in the Kolenkit neighborhood during her research on social relationships. What started as informal cooking for large groups evolved into a vibrant community economy, where local women shared their culinary skills.
The popularity of their weekly takeout menu in the Kolenkit kas led to the creation of a platform for these talented cooks, allowing them to develop their skills further and earn a living from their passion. Kolenkit Koks was born, offering catering services featuring a diverse range of dishes from Turkish, Nigerian, Iranian, Moroccan, Bhutanese, and other cuisines.
At the Ambacht in Beeld Festival, the Kolenkit Koks will not only provide delicious ready-made snacks but also offer a special workshop where you can learn to make briwats yourself!
Embark on a journey to the Moroccan souq with chef Aicha.
Join chef Aicha, a specialist in fresh spices, to explore the authentic world of Moroccan flavors. In this workshop, you’ll experience the rich aromas of freshly ground spices and create your own unique spice blend. Say goodbye to stale spice jars and discover the true essence of spices by using them in their freshest form.
With your personalized spice blend, you’ll learn to make and fold briwats—triangular pastries that are a hallmark of Moroccan cuisine. Chef Aicha will guide you through blending spices, selecting the right vegan filling, and mastering the art of folding and baking. You’ll leave with your own spice blend, your handmade briwats, and the skills to recreate these delicious pastries at home.
Aicha’s culinary expertise has made her one of the most popular chefs on the KolenkitKoks platform, which supports talented local cooks in developing their food enterprises. Aicha runs her own business, bringing authentic Moroccan spices to Amsterdam, and her dedication to fresh, expertly ground spices is a rare and valuable craft. With support from Stichting KolenkitKoks, Aicha continues to inspire with her unique spice blends and culinary creations.

A Refreshing Apple from Eerlijk en Heerlijk
Eerlijk en Heerlijk is committed to environmentally friendly fruit cultivation, working with nature to grow their fruit sustainably in the orchard. Their fruit stays on the tree longer than that of other growers, making it riper and more flavorful. The apples available at the festival are pure, sun-ripened, and packed with energy. Come and taste them for yourself!
A Cup of Zuivere Koffie
Zuivere Koffie provides incarcerated individuals with a fair chance for a successful reintegration into society. “In our energy-regenerative production facility at the Zaandam prison, 70 motivated inmates work on creating high-quality products. Our coffee roastery processes beans of the highest quality into Zuivere Koffie’s specialty coffee. Inmates learn a craft, develop practical skills and knowledge, and experience what it means to excel and believe in their abilities. These qualities are essential for a successful reintegration into society. Our approach is unique because we offer support during incarceration and directly after release.”
Vegan Baked Goods from Vegan Bakkery
“What started with three vegan options in our traditional artisan bakery has grown into a range where over 80% of the offerings are entirely plant-based. Daily, customers across the country enjoy our vegan bread and pastries.”
Flevo Juice
In 1989, the Vermeulen family became passionate about the idea of apple juice that is pure and made solely from fruit. Their desire for such juice grew stronger, and in 1993, they decided to turn their passion into action. They began producing naturally cloudy fruit juice from apples in their own orchard, becoming the first in the Flevopolder with their product: Flevosap. Today, the second generation of the Vermeulen family leads the company, working with a team of dedicated employees to develop 100% pure fruit juice without compromises. You can taste the joy in every sip of Flevosap, ensuring that you enjoy it to the fullest.
Due to great success in 2023, this workshop returns to the festival: join us and learn all about traditional and authentic Korean fermentation!
In this Kimchi workshop by Mina from House of Fermentation, you will be guided through making a unique kimchi recipe from Jinju, South Korea. Additionally, you will learn about the differences between fermentation methods worldwide, kimchi variations, and kimchi recipes.
All participants will work together to complete one large batch of kimchi, which will be shared at the end of the workshop, just like in Mina’s childhood when all the neighbors would come together to make a huge batch of kimchi to feed the entire village.
With the Korean kimchi recipe, the fermentation process continues practically forever. You can open the jar as often as you like to take some kimchi out; it will keep fermenting. Making kimchi is a craft that relies on the harmony between ingredients, microorganisms, nature, and us, humans.
During the festival, the traditional Korean ‘Hang ah ri,’ a 2000-year-old cooling instrument still in use in Korea, will also be exhibited. You can taste naturally fermented kimchi that has been fermenting for about 3 months in the Hang ah ri. This Hang ah ri, made by the government-registered (and protected) craftsman Choong-Ghil Hwang, was imported directly from South Korea by Mina in 2021 through crowdfunding.
Mina was born and raised in Jinju, South Korea. She studied nursing at university, which helped her research and verify the traditional recipe. She moved to the Netherlands and in 2019 started House of Fermentation to reintroduce the legacy of kimchi making and pass on Korea’s rich cultural heritage.
Coffee and Tea
We offer sustainable single-source coffee beans directly from the grower. The exceptional taste of our coffee varieties comes from the organic nature of our products and our philosophy of giving back to the farmers, which is deeply ingrained in our DNA. We hope you enjoy your drink!
In addition to coffee, we also serve tea, including fresh mint and ginger tea.
Freshly Baked Vegan Poffertjes
Our vegan poffertjes are delightfully airy and deliciously flavorful. Our secret vegan recipe, influenced by old Dutch traditions with a touch of Southern European cuisine, has stood the test of time and is cherished by vegan communities everywhere. A true treat, not only for the little ones but also for sweet-toothed parents.
Fresh Vegan Soft Serve
Our vegan soft serve is made from natural plant-based ingredients, sweetened naturally without any artificial elements. This Belgian ice cream paradise will tantalize your taste buds and establish vegan ice cream on the map and menu for years to come. It’s served pure and natural on vegan cones or in a recycled cup.
