SUDAH_ On heritage, art, cooking, and family evolved out of Jessica Voorwinde’s personal exploration of her Moluccan roots. As granddaughter to Johannes Patty and Maria Sipasulta she discovered how little was actually known about their migration story—even within the family itself. Together with her friend and business partner Judith Öfner, she decided it was high time to record this history. The result is an affectionate project about family, heritage, and identity. About cooking as memory, about silence as survival, and about what gets lost when stories are never passed on.
SUDAH_ is a book, a podcast, and a digital platform—but it is first and foremost an invitation to listen, to recognize, and to hold on to things of value. Meaning something like ‘never mind’ or ‘things are good the way they are’, in this project the concept of Sudah has become a loving counter movement: a plea to not ignore you heritage, but instead honour it—in scent, taste, image, and memory.
This book is an ode to heritage, family and memory. In this rich, layered work, family stories of the Moluccan Patty family are interwoven with art, history and – above all – cooking. At the kitchen table, six sisters prepare their mother's recipes, such as babi ketjap and papeda, while they talk about their childhood in New Guinea, their journey to the Netherlands and their quiet pursuit of integration.
Moluccan cuisine is the common thread: fragrant family recipes, often never written down before, are lovingly preserved and shared. In this way, stories are passed on, literally and figuratively. In addition to personal memories, the book also offers a broader historical context, with essays by Wim Manuhutu, Yvette Kopijn, Lara Nuberg and others. Visual artists Yara Jimmink and Jaya Pelupessy add new layers with their work, and poet Gloria Lappya touches on the pain and beauty of cultural tradition. Sudah is not a cookbook, but a family story that leaves you wanting more.
