Kookstudio Leeuw
The best cooking workshops in Amsterdam
COOKING STUDIO IN AMSTERDAM
Cooking studio in Amsterdam, cooking workshops since 1990. Book a date and we’ll take care of the rest.
With the opening of Kookstudio Dennis Leeuw in 1990, Dennis took an audacious gamble by starting his own studio. The era of kookstudio’s where groups of people could cook and dine hadn’t yet began. It was a matter of passion and patience, but today Kookstudio Dennis Leeuw is one of the leading kookstudio’s in the Netherlands.
From the beginning, Dennis has taken devotion to achieve high standards in hospitality and choice in cuisines.
Every day Dennis works on creating new themes for cooking workshops that stand out, like the vegetarian Asian and the delicious plant based Indonesian workshops.

In this cooking workshop you learn what the Japanese eat when they come home after a long day of work. Simple but refined, fresh, colorful and healthy but without spending too much time in the kitchen. Actually very modern!

About Dennis
After years of working in several renowned restaurants it was time to start something new. At that time there were no open restaurant kitchens and I missed the contact with the guests.
When I joined the restaurant critic Johannes van Dam to eat for Het Parool, I met many new people in the food business. One of them was Cees Holtkamp, owner of the famous pastry shop here in Amsterdam. When I participated in a patisserie cooking workshop that Cees gave, I knew what I wanted: to have a cooking studio in Amsterdam myself. Until today I love the energy and special atmosphere of having in group in my kitchen. The happy faces at the table and all the compliments when the guests leave at the end of the evening are the best part of my work.
