Opening the kitchen, again

Sometimes the best way to explain what you do is simply to let people step inside. Last week we hosted our second Salsa Shop cooking workshop, together with our PR partner Coebergh and a small group of creators and media. Not a big event. Not a press show. Just a handful of people we genuinely like working with, standing in the kitchen, cooking together.

From posts to real moments

Online content is important. It helps people discover us, understand what we do, and see the energy behind the brand.

But real brand preference usually happens somewhere else: offline.

That’s why we organise moments like these workshops. We invite creators and media we actually connect with, open the kitchen, and let them see what “fresh” means in practice. Not as a slogan, but as a process.

Chopping vegetables. Seasoning proteins. Building bowls. Tasting sauces. Talking about why we make certain choices and how the concept works. The same things that happen every day in our kitchens, just shared a little more slowly.

Because when people understand the food, they understand the brand.

Why these moments matter

We’re careful about who we work with. Not because we want fewer voices, but because we want the right ones. People who genuinely like the food, understand the concept, and feel comfortable sharing that with their audience.

Workshops like this help create that connection. Less transactional, more personal. Cooking together, asking questions, trying things out, the kind of moments that build relationships instead of just content.

And that’s the bigger picture.

When you see Salsa Shop pop up online, there’s a good chance the person posting has actually stood in the kitchen, chopped ingredients, and built a bowl themselves.

That makes the story a lot more real.
