Info
Madame Jeanette is a theatrical live kitchen talk show, dishing up peppery conversation and spicy seasonings. It’s a heartfelt attempt to keep listening — even when things heat up in a polarised world. Good food brings people together, and no one ever died from an honest exchange of views. Or so we hope…
Each day, populist talkshow host Joey welcomes two guests into his culinary arena. As they share the stories behind the dishes and the secrets behind the flavours, they try to get closer — though the spice level can be unpredictable. In pluktuin De Groenhof, popular chef Donnie Dinsdag cooks alongside part of the audience, using local ingredients to create dishes rooted in the cultural backgrounds of the performers. A new recipe each day, a conversation to chew over.
How do we actually talk to each other?
We have conversations every day—on the street, at home, at work. But are we really listening? What happens when someone says something that completely contradicts what you believe? Are we willing to face the discomfort?
