Description
Your experience begins at the main entrance of Treehouse NDSM, where you will be warmly welcomed for a short introductory walkthrough of this thriving artistic incubator in the heart of Amsterdam Noord's creative docklands.
After discovering the vibrant atmosphere of the creative hub, step inside my private art studio. Over a brief introduction, I will share the inspiration and creative philosophy behind our session, bridging visual arts with sustainable gastronomy, before you tie on your apron to begin your hands-on culinary workshop:
Monday & Tuesday (Italian Heritage & Comfort Food): Discover how traditional Italian recipes can be fully reimagined using plant-based ingredients. You will learn to roll and shape classic handmade pasta from scratch, master the technique of preparing a creamy seasonal vegetable risotto, and cook rich cornmeal polenta paired with a slow-simmered seasonal vegetable stew.
Wednesday (Artisan Vegan Cheese & Fermentation): Dive into the art and science of plant-based cheesemaking. You will work with nuts, seeds, and natural cultures to craft spreadable, soft-ripened, and aged cultured vegan cheeses, while exploring natural fermentation and flavor-profiling techniques using herbs and spices.
The workshop concludes with a tasting session of everything you have created. You can choose how you’d like to enjoy your meal:
- Treehouse Cantina: Sit down and relax inside the indoor community hub.
- Terrace or Courtyard: Dine outdoors and soak up the unique artistic atmosphere of NDSM.
- Takeaway: Have your dishes carefully packed in eco-friendly packaging to enjoy later.
