A little about me...
Ever since I can remember - FOOD has been on my mind.
I don't just mean the eating part, but also the creating part :)
One of my first memories is looking down at my muddy hands while feeling extremely content and accomplished.
You see, I had just finished my master piece - a beautiful 3tiered mud cake decorated with wild berries and fresh flowers I had just picked. I had the best time in our backyard in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. This is where I grew up.
But don't be fooled! I was actually born and currently reside here on the 'One Happy Island' of Aruba. I do however admit that my little Dutch accent does sometimes hint to my Holland days.
Traveling has always been a true passion and tasting foods from all over the world is a personal mission. So after graduating with high honors and awards from the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts in Boston - Professional Pastry Program, my path was set.
A culinary career was my goal.
I believe that food is not just our source of energy, the fuel we simply need to survive. Food is and does so much more! We share, we celebrate, we honor, we inspire, we create memories - all through food.
Chewnobaca's aim is to show that plant-based foods are delicious and that it is still possible to cook up amazing local Aruban dishes without using the traditional ingredients that are animal based. I believe that is the way forward, the way of the future is plant powered and I also believe that does not mean we need to loose our traditional flavors. Because trust me, plant-based is delicious - these hips and my waist don't lie!
As many of my friends and family say, I am in a serious and dedicated relationship with food.
I also share stories of my (life)travels via my blog
'a FARIable Life' and I am looking forward
to creating a MOOvement in
Aruban Culinary traditions.
