Why is this blog called Stefan’s Gourmet Blog? Well, according to Collins Dictionary, a gourmet is “a person who cultivates a discriminating palate for the enjoyment of good food and drink”. That’s quite a good description of me, although I do not only enjoy good food and wine, but also like to cook and select matching wines. I’m a guy (1974) from the Netherlands, living near Amsterdam. On this blog I share my experiences with cooking, eating at restaurants, visiting wineries, and related topics. I also organize wine pairing dinners, and organize wine study trips for the VVN. I do all of this out of passion, because I have a ‘day job’ as well to pay the bills, as strategic advisor to the senior management of a government institution. When I’m not cooking or working, I also try to find some time to read (in Italian to keep up my Italian), play the piano, sing, and travel. (Of course food and wine are usually important factors in my travels.)
