About us

In 2008 I started this blog with my sister Grace, since we love almost anything food and never shut up about it. To eat it, cook it, present it, talk about, write about and even photograph. We were born and raised in Suriname, a melting pot of cultures, where there is not one typical dish, but many. Combine that with living in the USA, Europe, traveling internationally, and you can see how blessed we are with fine tongues, spatulas and the opportunity to explore the world of food around the globe.

We are by no chefs, just amateur “food critics” who simply love to cook and eat good, healthy food.

Our purpose

Sharing experiences, recipes, tips and culture with our readers, that’s what this blog is all about!

Good or bad, you will find some well known, but also unknown recipes of dishes we grew up on. Don’t let the unfamiliarity of dishes or ingredients stop you from trying them out. We only post recipes of the tasty dishes we have tested and hope you will enjoy and try experimenting with recipes like we do.

Enjoy!  ~ Eet smakelijk! ~ Bon apetit! ~ Buen provecho! ~ Njan Switie! ~ Selamat Makan!

 

Updates

Out of all my experiments and cooking for others, came the idea to mix spices of our traditional dishes, making it easier for others to prepare delicious meals. I started Multiculti Gourmet in 2014 as a food cottage business, but due to the many restrictions I put my plans on the backburner.

A year prior to starting this business, my interest for spices peaked when I learned more about the healing effects of spices and herbs. I wanted to share this too and wrote a (Kindle) book series “Hidden Powers of Spices & Herbs” available on Amazon.

In 2020 (during the Corona pandemic) I co-founded another food business with my youngest son Gabe. Komodo Sauces brings the legacy of our family’s hot sauces to the USA and so far our fans can’t stop spicing up their food!
