Get to know us
I talk about food and cooking, a lot. To be honest, it's the one subject I can talk about all day. Three years ago, I started Bean There Kitchen. It was always a big dream of me to turn my passion into my work. I absolutely love taking care and spreading creativity through cooking. Already during my studies in Amsterdam (Allround Styling), I graduated by researching the impacts food can have on your mood, with the help of an orthomoleculair therapist. Supporting your body with wholesome foods became an important mission of mine. When I started living in the Algarve, I finally felt the freedom and creativity to start my business as a private chef and caterer. It is amazing to get to know all these people and experiences through catering. So here I am now, together with my partner and my best dog friend Gaia, we enjoy cooking for you and also hope to inspire! :)
and I am a fortunate fellow that likes to cook and provide pleasant experiences which makes our service more than just food. Originally from Hollanda, we fell in love with the Algarve. The vibrant markets, farm to table opportunities, fresh local ingredients, and the relaxed Portuguese way of life. Together with my partner, Roos, we bring unforgettable culinary experiences to the Algarve & NL. Our journey into catering and private cheffing started with a shared passion for food, hospitality, and the joy of creating memorable moments around the table. At the heart of our cooking is a love for honest, high-quality ingredients. We work closely with local farmers, fishers, and artisans to bring the best of the Algarve & NL to your plate. Whether it’s a private dinner overlooking the ocean, a wedding feast, or a laid-back barbecue under the stars, we love to make it happen.
Catered to your wishes and needs
As it is really important to us that everyone feels included, we always make sure to take
all diet wishes or allergy restrictions very seriously. Unfortunately, food allergies and intolerances are on the rise and that means digestion can feel uncomfortable. Your group or your guests should feel at ease during their well-deserved holiday, event or retreat. We are well-known with for example vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, gluten-free, keto or paleo diets and will alter our dishes to your wishes and needs.
Recommendations
Roos and Laurens have already provided full catering for two of our retreats in Portugal, and it was really great! They are incredibly kind people who always think along with us. Nothing is too much for them, and they always made sure to accommodate participants with dietary preferences and allergies. Truly appreciated!
And then, of course, there’s the delicious food, always with that special "Roos touch"—Simply amazing. The meals were tailored to our specific wishes. We’re already looking forward to collaborating with them again for our upcoming retreats!
