    3. The art of tinkering

    In this episode of TheTastePodcast, Merel Rijnen, food technologist and owner of Food Dynamics, sits down to chat with Robert Strik. Merel talks about her passion for food development and how she founded her company Food Dynamics. Once upon a time, Merel and Robert had intended to start a company together. They cast their minds back to that plan. Merel also gives listeners a glimpse into her creative process that she calls ‘the art of tinkering’. After all, developing new flavours is a process of trial and error, of trying, tasting, and starting again. The process doesn’t stop until you find the best flavour. Merel’s innovative and passionate approach is an inspiration to many.

    2. Creating food at the source

    Behind The Taste Podcast microphone in this episode is Wilco Vermeer, co-founder of Kenyan company NatureLock Foods. This company combats food waste across Africa by preserving fresh produce naturally right at the source, making it tasty, nutritious, and affordable for all. They call it ‘creating food at the source’. This is very important for African farmers: it maximizes the use of their produce, increases their income, and provides a healthy alternative to less healthy food. Wilco explains the NatureLock process – using local staple foods to retain flavour and nutritional value – to Robert Strik, who is listening to the chat. This podcast is also full of valuable tips on how consumers can change their food choices to help preserve the environment. https://naturelockfoods.com/ https://www.foodbusinessafrica.com/naturelock-offering-kenyans-homely-nutritious-dishes-whipped-up-in-minutes/ https://magazines.rijksoverheid.nl/lnv/agrospecials/2021/01/afrika Robert Strik Passion for taste has a name, and that name is Robert Strik.
