This week Adam is in Amsterdam AKA the ‘Venice of the North’ with baker, writer and content creator Tomek Mossakowski.
Tomek has make it his job to hop on his bike, eat as much as he can around Amsterdam and tell you about them in his brilliant Substack newsletter called Smaak.
On a gorgeous Autumn afternoon in Amsterdam, Adam and Tomek talk about what it’s like to discover a new city through its bakeries and the culinary delights that Amsterdam has to offer. Things also get a little bit festive as they try to uncover why Christmas Cake is such an unloved festive delight.

- Christmas Cake
- Hartog’s Volkorenbrood
