Collectie: About Us

Hi!

My name is Venus. I’m 39 years old and a proud mom of two wonderful kids: Andrea (13) and Will (6). Ven’s Keuken started in September 2020—quite unexpectedly! One day, a friend was craving tocino, and I told her I happened to have some at home because it’s one of my husband André’s favorites. She bought some, loved it, and encouraged me to make more. That simple moment sparked the beginning of our small food business.

I also started experimenting with baking bread around the same time. My first attempts weren’t perfect—in fact, many of them were failures! But I didn’t give up. I kept trying new recipes, comparing techniques, and learning from each mistake. Eventually, my hard work paid off, and today we proudly offer around five different types of homemade bread. 😊

We decided to open Ven’s Keuken as a home-based business to help support our growing family needs. It allows me to contribute to our household in my own way while doing something I truly enjoy—cooking and sharing delicious food made with love.

With the support of my husband, many parts of my work have become easier.

Everything we cook is made with love and passion. We truly enjoy preparing food and serving it to our family, friends, and even to our Dutch community—sharing with them the experience and authentic flavors of Filipino cuisine.
