About this episode
They say the spice trade changed the world — today, its legacy is shaping the streets of Paris.
In this episode, we sit down with Eka Moncarre, the driving force behind La Maison de l’Indonésie, a cultural and culinary space bringing the flavors of the Indonesian archipelago to France. From her Peranakan Bangka roots to the release of her celebrated new cookbook, we trace a modern spice route connecting Indonesia and the City of Light.
It’s a story of heritage, migration, and how food carries culture across continents.
Award Highlight: Eka’s cookbook L’Indonésie à la maison recently received major recognition at the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2025, winning Best in Asia and Best Bilingual Cookbook.
