“WOW… Dirk cooked for us for 3 days at a conference in the Netherlands with 40 participants. The food was ON TIME, exquisite in taste, and very nutritious for everyone attending. I’ve really enjoyed communicating with Dirk and organizing this conference where he fed us. He’s clear and easy to communicate with and over-delivers. Highly recommended!”

“We had the pleasure of enjoying the food that Dirk was cooking for us while we were having a 3-day intensive with sweat lodges. You should know that after a sweat lodge, food is like heaven. And now it was beyond heaven! Wonderful, thank you very much for your tasty, balanced and artful cooking. Thank you as well for your flexibility in not knowing when we will come out of the sweat lodge, and then suddenly these ravenously hungry people craving for food… Absolutely great!”
