Marike Van Beurden

Flavor has always been at the heart of my work, as well as the importance of knowing the origin of my ingredients. While I enjoy preparing certain infusions myself, there are moments when a well-crafted flavor fits perfectly. That is why collaborating with Prova Gourmet immediately made sense to me.
We share the same approach: sourcing and creating ingredients with care and intention.
