• KOOKSTUDIO DENNIS LEEUW, COOKING STUDIO IN AMSTERDAM

    Since 1995 I organize cooking workshops in my cooking studio in Amsterdam. Most people book because they have been before or because they have heard good things about me. My team and I aim for a homey atmosphere for you to feel comfortable. My style of cooking is refined but simple and it is all about good quality fresh ingredients. The recipes are fun to make but we take care you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen.

About Dennis Leeuw

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.
