Kijkje in de Keuken in Werkplaats Molenwijk

On 26 September 2025, Werkplaats Molenwijk will once again host Kijkje in de Keuken, the free quarterly neighbourhood dinner by Karam Keuken. While the neighbourhood chefs practise their culinary skills, locals participating in the weekly Vrij Atelier will share their paintings and poetry during an exhibition. This edition will be attended by district council member Esther Lagendijk to get to know the local community.

Karam Keuken has already cooked a delicious three-course dinner for the neighbourhood eight times. Friday 26 September will be the ninth time that Ghada, Enaam, Latifa and chef Sonya will be putting their restaurant into action. Various Moroccan and Syrian dishes will be served, such as harira soup, pastillas, couscous and chebakia.

Everyone is welcome to join us from 17:00u. On the evening itself, the Vrij Atelier exhibition will also be opened. On the initiative of local resident Janneke, every Monday afternoon there is the opportunity to draw and paint, either independently or with an assignment. The exhibition is the result of three months of art-making at this location.

This time, Amsterdam-Noord district council member Esther Lagendijk will also join the dinner. As part of her plan to connect more directly with residents and thus be better informed about what is going on, she is organising a number of dinners in the neighbourhoods of Noord. In the Molenwijk, she will be joining Kijkje in de Keuken, an existing dinner event that brings together many Molenwijk residents.
