We are Ernst and Eva: a couple from the city of Utrecht in The Netherlands.

We met in 2011. Ernst worked as a chef in an Asian restaurant. Eva worked in the store opposite of it, selling fruits and vegetables. We fell in love with each other, surrounded by strawberries, broccoli and spring onions. Since than we are inseperatable and got married in 2015.

We both quit our jobs, Ernst being head of the kitchen of a great restaurant. Eva as a real estate agent, managing the company. Since September 2016 we are travelling the world with our love for food and each other guiding us.

We are open for new experiences and like to take our time for things. Ernst is always curious when food is involved and is open to give a helping hand, both in the home and professional kitchen. Eva really enjoys photograpy and is a professional writer with good teaching skills.

Please ask us anything you like to know and if you have any questions.
