From home cooking to world cuisine

Cooking has been part of who I am all my life

As a child, I often stood next to my mum in the kitchen. She was a chef herself and taught me how flavours come into balance, how simplicity can surprise and how important it is to cook with care and love. Those moments laid the foundation for my passion.

My first professional step was a sandwich bar

That’s where I discovered what people truly appreciate: freshness, honesty and a personal approach. But I wanted to do more than the classic sandwiches you find everywhere. I turned each sandwich into something special, with flavour, creativity and ingredients you wouldn’t necessarily expect. That small adventure quickly grew into a loyal customer base, looking for that unique touch.

Then came ten wonderful years as a restaurant owner in Hoeilaart

Every week, I created a new menu inspired by world cuisine: Asian, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, classic with a twist. For many customers, it became a weekly journey of discovery. That period shaped my signature: global influences, pure ingredients, surprising flavours and warm hospitality.

Today, I continue this story with Ellen’s Catering

I cook for celebrations, families, companies and events, always with dishes that match the moment, the people and the atmosphere you want to create. In addition, I also host cooking workshops for small groups in my culinary space in Overijse. Cooking together, tasting, learning and enjoying — for me, that is the essence of good food.

Whatever you order from me — brunch, sharing plates, an Asian buffet, bites or a refined dinner — one thing always remains the same: I cook the way I like to eat myself, with generosity, honesty and a deep love for flavour.
