elcome to the world of good food! My name is Paola and I have been living in Almere, The Netherlands since 1997. I was born in Colombia but I was raised in The United States. After studying Dutch art and culture at the University of Leiden, I decided to follow my passion for all things culinary, and to share that passion with others. My food philosophy is quite simple- I cook with quality seasonal ingredients produced with respect for nature. That’s why I eat organic and the reason why I’m always interested in knowing where my food comes from. My passion for food goes way beyond cooking. I am convinced that a good meal begins with the use of good products.

t the moment I am busy working on my first cookbook in Dutch, but there are some recipes on this site to give you an idea of my way of cooking. You are also invited to have a look at my two food blogs (news and links page)
