Maak kennis met Stefan.

Meet Stefan, a passionate artisan whose journey from the lab to the kitchen is anything but ordinary! Originally a biomedical scientist, Stefan's love of food led him to spend nine months in the kitchen at Rochelle Canteen during his PhD, combining his scientific mind with his culinary skills. But it was during a year in South Korea that Stefan discovered his true culinary fascination: kimchi and the art of fermentation. Here, science and food collided, igniting a passion that would shape his future.

With a natural talent for teaching, Stefan began hosting workshops that started as small gatherings with friends and family. Now he loves sharing his knowledge of fermentation with a wider audience, bringing people together to explore flavours and techniques in a way that's both fun and informative. In Stefan's workshops, participants are not only introduced to the basics of fermentation, but are encouraged to experiment, ask questions and share in the magic that happens when science meets food.
