Ode to Marie Antionette Keasberry-van Beekom | That cookbook was in everyone's kitchen.

By Sam Heffels1 maart 2025

Dear grandma Keasberry, 

I think it's very impressive that you started your own restaurant all by yourself. Then it became very popular when you were 50 years old. That cookbook was also in everyone's kitchen. I am also a quarter Indonesian and sometimes get takeout from the Indo restaurant. It's a shame your restaurant is not nearby. No one can cook Indonesian better than you!

Love
