Snoekered!

Geuzengroen-Slotersnoek is a recipe for an umwelt of urban ingredients caught and sourced in Geuzenveld-Slotermeer neighbourhood in Amsterdam West, featuring snoekbaars (Sander lucioperca), savage suburban carrots (Daucus carota) and poor-man’s mustard (Alliaria petiolata). All ingredients were collected during fishing and botanical expeditions led by Wietske Maas with the help of Co van Vliet (Amsterdam Fishing Association) and Claud Biemans (Amsterdam city botanist). The ingredients were growing spontaneously across abandoned zones and derlict building sites and the fish were caught in the Sloterplas.

The recipe was prepared with the fish culinary assistance of Rob during the Cook, the Farmer, his Wife and their Neighbour Harvest Day (Feestelijke Oostdag) on Sunday September 27 at Lodewijk van Deysselstraat 61.

For more information on the Cook, the Farmer, his Wife and their Neighbour can be found via the project’s blog.
