Lepeltje Lepeltje Karma Kitchen

Eating together connects. It’s a fun and easy way to meet new people or get to know each other better. Karma Kitchenn fits perfectly with the concept of my practice.

The menu and the scheduled date are on the online agenda. There you can make your own reservation and come sit down at our cozy dining table. You can also alert others to sign up. At the moment there is room for a maximum of 20 participants.

If you would like to make a reservation for your own private group, please contact us to discuss the options.

The served meals are:

  • Plant-based / vegan = no animal products, not even cheese, milk or eggs. More information.
  • Organic
  • Alcohol free
  • 100% prepared with love

Are you a big eater? Feel free to ask for a second serving until your belly is full.

On May 27 we serve a Surinamese menu:

  • Surinamese peanut soup with tomtom (made from plantain)
  • Surinamese fried rice with vegetables.
  • Homemade orgeade (traditional almond syrup), tea and juice.

WHAT DOES A KARMA KITCHEN MEAL COST?

Who pays for my meal at Karma Kitchen?
At Karma Kitchen your meal has been paid for by someone who came before you. Since it’s a gift, you can’t pay them back — but you can pay-it-forward by making a contribution that will allow future guests to experience the same generosity. It is this circle of giving that allows Karma Kitchen to keep going.

GIFT ECONOMY AT KARMA KITCHEN

Imagine a restaurant where you pay-forward for the person after you. How long might the chain of generosity last? Karma Kitchen first opened in Berkeley on March 31st 2007, by several volunteers inspired to seed the value of a “gift economy”. It has now spread around the globe.

On May 6th 2022, the Karma Kitchens chain of gifts:

  • has been able to continue for 99247 meals
  • had volunteers contributing 80128 hours

These numbers are updated weekly on KarmaKitchen.org

MY FOREIGN EXPERIENCES WITH KARMA KITCHEN

KARMA KITCHEN IN AUROVILLE, INDIA – DECEMBER 2017

On December 17th, a big group of international and local people joined hands to create a Karma Kitchen in Auroville, India. It was an honour to be part of it.

“The food tastes like Love!” “Best meal I’ve ever had!” “The volunteer team was in FLOW!” These are some of the common sentiments after an epic Karma Kitchen experiment in Auroville. Within 2 hours on a sunny Sunday, the team welcomed over 120 guests to co-create the magic of deliciousness and generosity.

KARMA KITCHEN IN VIENNA, AUSTRIA – APRIL 2018

On April 26th, a big community of friends came together to create our first Karma Kitchen in Vienna, Austria! It was a big joy and succes! And in many ways, it was mini reunion of our time at Karma Kitchen in Auroville last December.
