Cooking Workshop Reviews

What others think of us


I had a very inspiring Cook experience at KEUKENvuur in Utrecht. Sil is not only a terrific Chef de Cuisine& but also a host who knows how to connect people, to motivate them to work together and to make them aware that cooking is a lot of fun too. I can garantee that organizing & attending a Cook workshop for you and your collaegues or close friends will be a huge success!

Cook Experience @ Keukenvuur

Rick Schram

More than amazing! Together with 12 friends we were warmly welcomed for a cooking workshop and then all of us set to work to prepare delicious dishes (of Caribbean cuisine). We had a great evening with Sil and had a delicious meal … Highly recommended! We will definitely come back!

My parents were married for 30 years and we celebrated at Keukenvuur an Italian workshop, super cozy and delicious, we had to make everything ourselves, fresh pasta, risotto with mushrooms, fresh sea bass was filleted for us and everything was neatly and well explained, while enjoying a cold beer or wine….together with brother, sister and entourage it was obviously great fun. Delicious piece of duck on a bed of different kinds of garden herbs, everything was delicious, mouth-watering, I can’t say anything else. Sil thanks for the delicious food, which we prepared ourselves under your culinary supervision of course, so: definitely to be repeated. Thanks for the good care.

Last Saturday we did a really fun tapas workshop at Kitchen Fire as a surprise for our birthday friend!We were with 10 people. Nice, cozy location. Easy to reach by public transport. The workshop leader/cook was very patient with these cackling girls… Delicious food! Highly recommended! Tip: if you want to go to the pub afterwards, take some extra gum with you.

With 13 ladies, we attended a cooking workshop by Kitchen Fire in early June 2015 during a bachelor party. We chose Thai cuisine. Nice that you can choose different cuisines. The cooking workshop is very easy to reach by both car and bus 37. The location is very tastefully decorated, very nice to spend a few hours here. Sil knew a lot about the products, recipes and did a great job helping everyone prepare the delicious food. Pure & fresh produce, unlimited drinks, ideal! Communication before & after was also very pleasant. We had a very enjoyable evening and I would definitely recommend everyone to take or book a workshop here if you love cooking!

Thai cuisine cooking workshop

Marieke Fengers

With our department, we did a cooking workshop on Dec. 7. This was a culinary experience for everyone. For example, we learned to fillet a whole ‘real’ salmon. In addition, we learned to make all kinds of Italian dishes including 4 (!) desserts. We were about 35 colleagues and worked in groups of 3 on the starters, main and desserts. When the food was ready we were allowed to sit at the table where the dishes were served in turn. The reactions of the colleagues were very enthusiastic: ‘delicious’, ‘never knew I could fillet a salmon’, ‘I want all the recipes’, ‘what a nice cook, can he come and help me at home too’. The guidance of the three cooks was also top. With great knowledge, patience and humor they guided us. Really a must to do with a group. You are busy, you learn something new, you enjoy a delicious meal and meanwhile there is plenty of opportunity to chat with your colleagues.

The Italian cooking workshop was great; cooking together is very enjoyable and good for the team spirit! The result was very tasty thanks to Sil’s good and fun guidance. In short, we enjoyed ourselves. The (new) cooking studio is fantastic; very nicely decorated, very atmospheric and also nice to work in. The easy and free parking in front of the door is of course also an advantage. Thanks for the great evening Sil, on behalf of all colleagues of AircoRent.

Dear Sil, compliments for the total care of the BBQ workshop. Everything was super arranged. Educational, delicious, and what an enthusiasm you know how to convey! Not to mention the incredibly creative BBQ dishes / snacks that you have invented. From fish, meat to vegetables & fruit. Highly recommended for young and old.

Sushi workshop

During Sil and his family’s vacation with us, I soon found out that Sil gave sushi workshops. Since I really like cooking, I asked him to teach me how to make sushi. He was immediately enthusiastic and we spent an entire evening making sushi. We ate delicious food but also learned a lot. It was great to see how passionately he talks about food and how much he knows about it. Nice to fill an evening with food talk and sushi snacks. Thank you Sil, I think you are a top chef!

Private sushi workshop

Sil is just so much fun! We asked him again to do a workshop during our company weekend. Last time was a great success and also this time he exceeded our expectations. This time we made Sushi and of course ate it. Sil guides the workshop with humor, has an eye for detail and knows how to get and keep everyone involved. As far as we are concerned, it will become a tradition during our company weekends: the second night is Sil night. Thanks again, Sil!

Sil is just so much fun!

Justine Appelman

Did a cooking workshop (tapas making) with a group of 10 people from our company and our client.
A great evening, delicious snacks made with where necessary some extra instructions from Sil.
A great balance between cooking together and having a nice dinner together afterwards, where you get to know each other in a different way and the mood is lifted.
A team building activity to recommend…Sil thanks!

Tapas cooking workshop

Henk Otte project manager RWS

THERE WERE 20 WOMEN! AND IT WAS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS!

First of all, because he had put together a perfect menu, which was not easy because there were some very skilled cooks! But because of his good preparation, everything was very well done and it tasted delicious. Moreover, he guided us all in a very pleasant, calm way, so that everyone got attention and we all felt that it was not only a very tasty and pleasant afternoon, but also an educational one! This cooking workshop is highly recommended! Great was the cooking workshop you gave. I learned a lot and the preparation was perfect, very important to get a tasty result. The atmosphere was very nice and relaxed. Yet I was also curious if everything would work out! 20 women working on four dishes at the same time! But everything was exemplary and it tasted delicious! It was a very pleasant evening to be together under your leadership! Thanks, Sil, and greetings from me, Joke Costongs.

KEUKENvuur regularly cooks for our guests. He has also conducted several cooking workshops for us by now. Delicious menus ranging from fully vegetarian to extensive cooking workshops. Always perfectly arranged and wonderfully pure food. The passion of KEUKENvuur is reflected in the food.
