Rencontrez Nele.

Chef

Anvers

From a young age, Nele has nurtured a deep-rooted curiosity about food, an interest instilled by a 'culinary' upbringing thanks to their parents. This early exposure to diverse flavours led to cooking becoming more than just a hobby. Initially, this passion manifested in preparing meals for large groups, as a foreman in the scouts and at various events, and later during elaborate dinner parties with friends. The culinary journey evolved into a monthly living room restaurant, a hobby that grew into something more significant.

Beyond their love for cooking, there's a strong commitment to ecological consciousness. Understanding the significant impact of our diet on both personal health and the ecosystem, Nele constantly seeks ways to minimise their environmental footprint without compromising on quality, variety, or creativity. Their approach includes sourcing sustainable and local products, often buying meat and vegetables directly from farmers.

Over time, this journey led to a transition to a vegetarian diet, interspersed with vegan dishes. This shift has not only been a challenge but also a joy, allowing the exploration of rich flavours, surprising combinations, and refined dishes within plant-based cuisine. Now, they are eager to share this experience, offering others the opportunity to discover the delights of plant-based cooking and its benefits for both health and the environment. Nele's story is not just about cooking; it's about a conscientious lifestyle choice and a continuous exploration of culinary art.
