Suzanne’s journey .
[Dutch here]Welcome to The Good Companion, where the food not only tastes delicious, but also tells a story. Meet Suzanne; once at the helm of the kitchen, she is now your go-to person for all things wine. With the talent to share captivating stories with every sip and bite, Suzanne's adventure began about five years ago when she graduated freshly from university with a degree in art history. However, recognizing that the art world isn't always a goldmine, she followed her curiosity straight into the kitchen.
From Art History to the Kitchen
During her studies, she gained extensive experience writing historical art recipes, seamlessly bringing that knowledge into our kitchen. What started as the chef's right hand quickly evolved into the chef herself. The accumulated culinary expertise, ranging from dish development to discovering and creating unique flavour combinations, left her craving more. This inspiration led her to explore the best wine pairings for our dishes, eventually growing into our enthusiastic wine specialist.
A New Challenge on the Floor
After spending considerable time in the kitchen, she discovered her true strength: leading a team. Besides managing our wine list, she now takes on new challenges like service, floor management, and the art of hospitality. She now brings her expertise in dish development, wine pairings, floor management, and hospitality to the forefront of our restaurant. The result? A fresh, renewed dynamism—a blend of creativity, love for wine, and the operation of a lively restaurant.
