The Experience
What your day looks like
Host Bio: Ine grew up near Ghent in East Flanders and learned to cook from her father. While her mother cooked during weekdays, it was her father who recruited her help to create special meals for friends they hosted over the weekends. Ine now hosts her friends at her home and we hear that they wait to be invited for gourmet meals at her modern, minimalist apartment. Her apartment overlooks gardens of neighboring homes and is a peaceful oasis in the city. Like many Belgians, Ine grows her own herbs on her balcony and makes use of them in all her food from her creative mocktails and flavored water to her soups and appetizers. Ine is a communications professional but her passion is gastronomy. Menu planning and experimenting with the latest culinary techniques is one of her favorite pastimes. She also enjoys eating at gourmet restaurants and staying abreast of new cooking trends. Ask Ine for recommendations of some of the best restaurants in Brussels, Antwerp, Brugge, and Ghent.
