Thank you so much for visiting!
This site is all about adventures in growing and preparing vegan food from across this beautiful world. I grew up in the Netherlands and have had the luck to live, work, and study in four different continents. All these influences are reflected in my food.
I love fresh ingredients and spend a lot of time in my community garden from mid-April through mid-November. Growing and preparing vegan food are very much creative outlets for me. Recently, I sometimes feel that I am working in a food lab, especially with all the vegan cheese experiments.
I am multilingual, a psychologist, master gardener, world citizen, and lover of anything crafty. Additionally, my job tends to keeps me pretty busy. Otherwise, I love to hang out with my family, friends, and cats Ollie (aka Klaasje Langstaart) and Siri (aka Katrijntje Kwebbel).


Happy vegan growing, cooking, eating!
