Meet the experts
We created this course in collaboration with Ira and Ayra Kip of Kip Republic. These twin sisters are storytellers, writers, food lovers and creative producers. To do what they do best - creative storytelling - they launched Kip Republic in May 2018. In 2020, Ira and Ayra organized "Free Heri Heri For All," an initiative intended to make the commemoration and celebration of the abolishment of the transatlantic slave trade (July 1st, 1863) more inclusive. The success of Free Heri Heri signaled the need for a broader platform that documents and shares the history and legacy of Dutch food culture with close attention to colonialism and migration. Kip Republic responded to that and Cooked history was born and serves as an archive of stories that preserve this history and its future.
