Mixblik: world dishes with a Rotterdam heart

A social enterprise helping newly arrived Rotterdam women move forward with plant-based dishes, like Eritrean silsi.

Rotterdam counts more than a hundred and seventy nationalities. Mixblik turns that into something beautiful: a social enterprise where newly arrived Rotterdam women share their cuisine with the city - in a tin.

The dishes are plant-based and come straight from the makers' own kitchens. Like Eritrean silsi: a rich, warming tomato stew you won't find anywhere else in the shops.

Every tin you buy helps the women behind the recipes move forward: work experience, a network, a place in the city. It's a product that nourishes in two ways.

In a box, a tin like this instantly tells a story at the table. Not an anonymous factory product, but a dish with a face and a history - exactly what we look for.
