Hola! I’m Stijn Kennes and this is my story.

I really love to cook and always trying some new recipes. Once a month, we always meet up with friends who come to taste a new menu we put together ourselves.
What’s your personal connection to food?

When I was young and went to school, I had to prepare dinner for my parents because they had to work late. So that's when I took my first steps. It starts with peeling potatoes, cleaning and cutting vegetables.... But the older you get, the more you try new things that become more and more difficult. Now parents and friends are regularly invited and I prepare a whole menu. The positive comments afterwards make you proud and you set the bar higher and higher for yourself.

There are many dishes I like to eat, but the one I will never say NO to is fresh mussels. Since the very best mussels are only available for a few months during the year, we should try to enjoy them as much as possible.

You will surely like these recipes too!
