Leesvoer
Als schrijver voor kom ik nog eens ergens. Het is leuk om aan een breed publiek te vertellen over wat me beweegt met mijn plantforward missie. Soms word ik geïnterviewd, andere keren schrijf ik essays over mijn keukenleven. Of columns over wat me bezighoudt in de duurzame gastronomie. Portretten van opmerkelijke chefs en ik verzamel toffe adressen in binnen en buitenland.
In dit blog vind je alle stukken in chronologische volgorde. Je kunt ook filteren op onderwerp met de knoppen hierboven.
