A glimpse of the fine set of goodies last week at our hotelsuite party with @oppobrothersnl at @andazams. Good times with great bites and even greater people! Ready for the weekend? ❤️🎉 (at Andaz Amsterdam Prinsengracht)

I started smoking in my early twenties and really just for one reason: to not feel awkward in a new social setting and especially to feel cool, like in this picture a few months ago in Madrid. Imagine, me feeling socially challenged is already strangely tragic, but the fact that a #sigarette would make me feel less uncomfortable or cooler..that’s just pathetic. Yet most the smokers I know have a similar story for when/how they started smoking. It’s been over a month and a half now since I quit and I continue to repeat: GO FUCK YOURSELF #marlboro! 🖕 #quitsmoking #stopsmoking #stoppenmetroken #philipmorris (at Parque del Retiro, Madrid)

This is what a dish looks like at this jewel of a restaurant called @bogrestaurant in The Hague. I was truly impressed by their fabulous food, typical Scandi interior design and supersweet chefs & owner. A highlight in the city! (at Restaurant Bøg)

Breaking B(re)ad. Add some wine & cheese and you’ve got me baby! 😍❤️ (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Thai Red Curry, the only way it should be served. Oh and that plate together with this dish...😍. Loads of compliments to @chefduprince and the @dekxels team! 🙌 (at Restaurant Dekxels)

This shot (by fabulous @steeffleur) brings back great memories of a fun day with @thisisthehague and @girlslove2travel in the Scheveningen harbour. That face is slightly exaggerated of course, though still I’m not a big biting-into-onion-soaked-raw-herring type a guy. 😅 Do you love this Dutch tradition? 🐟🐠🐬 (at Simonis in de stad)

Oh Han, your legacy prevails. ☺️🥢 (at Umami by Han Restaurants)

This is what a 26 year old signature dish by a 2 Michelin Star Chef looks like. To photograph it first and then get the chance to sit down and taste it was such a sincere privilege. This dish is called ‘Bresse Chicken’ and consists of ravioli, langoustine, wild mushroom and lobster sauce. Ridiculously epic! Chef Erik van Loo has been serving it since 1992 at @parkheuvel in Rotterdam. (at Restaurant Parkheuvel)

Yesterday at precisely 5:15PM spring started and with that the Nowruz celebrations have begun. Nowruz is better known as the Persian new year’s celebrations. The first day of spring marks the new year. I took this picture last night of my mom’s #haftseen table. Happy Nowruz, Eyde Shoma Mobarak! 🎉🌞 (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Although spring has officially kicked off today, I have an opposite, though always thrilling message for you fine folks: Winter is Coming! On May 21st the @gameofthrones live concert experience (@gameofthroneslive) comes to Amsterdam, at the @ziggodome. As my stories always show during the seasons, I’m a big GOT fan and so I can’t wait to go see this. Oh and the composer’s name is Ramin Djawadi and he’s Persian as well. ☺️🎉💃🏼 #gotlive (photo credits: @dabbevandenbrand) (at Ziggo Dome)

Scoop: @hemanederland opened a pop-up store in the heart of Amsterdam (Runstraat 25) where you can scoop yourself a #rainbowflag of #eastereggs. There’s a whole bunch of flavors and the whole thing makes you super happy! ☺️🎉 @lterveld & @jennyalvares how do you like my bag? ☺️😉 (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

Is in too early for a #bloodymary lunch? 😆😇 (at C Amsterdam)

[dishtales]

So I took this picture two weeks ago at this incredible restaurant called @dertienrdam for @iens_nl’s Insider platform. Some minor editing resulted in this playfulness of colors, which I liked a lot. Beautiful produce is truly easy to photograph. ❤️ (at Dertien)

[dishtales]

When you photograph and taste stunning, transcending dishes and find out only afterwards that the chef recently received a Michelin Star. Chef Remco Kuijpers, wow..truly epic food! (at Fitzgerald Rotterdam)

Another shot of my latest photoshoot for @vuurbrood. This one is definitely one of my favorites! Have a lovely Sunday folks! (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)

@blazingsorbets has launched a brand new #frozencocktail called Kir Royal. It was difficult to shoot this picture as I couldn’t wait to indulge..which is exactly what aindid straight after! 😂 For more info on #kirroyal check out my post (linkinbio)! (at Amsterdam, Netherlands)
