About the Italian cooking workshop
The cooking workshop starts with a drink in the dining room. As soon as the group is complete I’ll invite you to the kitchen. During a short introduction about the menu I will let you taste and smell some of the ingredients.
Everybody starts with the preparation of all the dishes and the first course will be served while cooking. Next the second course will be served in the dining room. The same for main and dessert. We end with coffee, tea and cookies. As a group you make all the dishes yourself but we take care that you don’t have to spend too much time in the kitchen.

Vegan indonesian cooking workshop
Recently a group of Uber Eats asked me if I could make a vegan Indonesian cooking workshop for them. I’d never thought of doing this but when I started to study I found out that actually it wasn’t that difficult to replace eggs and meat by products that are vegan. The group loved preparing the menu and totally adored the food, so here it is: the vegan Indonesian cooking workshop!
Arabian cooking workshop
Come and enjoy the flavors and fragrances of cardamom, cumin and cinnamon. Fresh tasting soup with lemon juice and dried mint, hummus with home made bread and much more. My date candy with nutmeg, black pepper and honey is famous!
Japanese cooking workshop
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.
asian vegetarian cooking workshop
Nowadays many of us eat less meat. For many reasons Asians eat little meat or no meat at all. This is why they have an centuries old tradition of cooking extremely refined vegetarian dishes from Japan, India, Indonesia, Korea and more.
