That you click on 'About me' means that you want to get to know me better and that makes me genuinely happy.
We are already halfway friends 🥰💛

In my world, everything revolves around the ingredient, the seasons, and making people happy. Cooking is for me the most beautiful way to give love, to let someone feel that you care about them, without saying a single word. Whether you are an experienced foodie or just starting out: you are in the right place. It's all about inspiration and hopefully, you will then make my recipe completely your own, with your own twist and creativity.

Next to the restaurant, there has always been baking.
For me, baking is the most honest craft there is... you can't lie with bread dough 😉

The smell of a freshly baked cake filling the kitchen, the moment you cut into a perfectly risen brioche and the inside is still lightly steaming, those are the little moments of happiness that count.

With 'Goe Gebakken' on Vier, I brought Flanders massively behind the mixing bowl,
and I still do, because baking is really for everyone.

Around 2010, I rolled into the media: first with a radio program on MNM, then for the TV screen. You might know me from 'Goe Gebakken' or 'De Keuken van Sofie', which was on your screen daily for five years. Or from 'Grillmasters' from RTBF, my weekly recipe column in HLN and in Deuzio, or my appearances on radio Vivacité.

But what I really wanted was to be closer to my audience. Not just on a screen, but really in your kitchen. That's why I've been building an online community for over ten years: hundreds of thousands of people on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, who get started with my recipes every day.

I want to show that cooking deliciously doesn't have to be complicated. That the tastiest dishes start with good ingredients and a bit of enthusiasm.

Besides being a chef, I am also a very proud mom of Grace. In 2013, I became a mom to Grace, and my kitchen changed forever. I try to let her eat as healthily as possible, but I am not a sergeant. Sometimes I let go, because a happy child counts more than a perfect plate.

Healthy and tasty go hand in hand. That’s what I show in my book series 'On the Grow'. With that series about food for children I won an international Gourmand World Cookbook Award, one of the greatest recognitions of my career.

Because I am a mom and know how vulnerable children can be, I also hold the KiKa fund (Child Cancer Fund) dear to my heart. A good cause that is close to me.
