All products listed below are tried and tested by me. Have a look and see if there’s anything you haven’t heard of yet!

Circular Chefs

Restaurant Instock, the restaurant that rescues food by offering lunch and dinner in their restaurants with foods that would have been thrown away otherwise, brought out a new cook book! With Circular Chefs they go a step further than rescuing food, it’s all about eating sustainable. The way we eat affects 1/3 of the global warming, so we can eat a lot more sustainable. In the Circular Chefs cookbook famous Dutch chefs give you tips and recipes to eat more climate friendly. You can buy the book at one of their restaurants or order the book here. Circular Chefs is written in Dutch, they’re hoping to release an English version in the beginning of 2019.

Kari’s Crackers

You can taste the love and devotion in these crackers! Kari’s Crackers is the brand name of the crispbread crackers from Kari. Kari, who’s originally from Norway but has lived in the Netherlands for over 20 years, made her own ‘knäckebröd for years before she started making them for retail. The crackers are all made by hand by people with a distance to the job market. ‘Kari’s Knekkebrød’ is available in four flavors: rye, spelt, corn and bran.
