PUUR YONNIE, an ode to Jonnie Boer.
Today I had the honor of being at @delibrijezwolle for the book launch of @jonnie_en_therese.
I spent the whole evening reading and flipping through the pages.
WHAT A BOOK.
What stories.
WHAT AN ODE.
Love, Nature, Pioneer, Fatherhood, Music, Jonnie's Foundation, Friendship, Suppliers, Local products, Relaxation, Entrepreneurship, Humor & The pure human being.
Everything passes by, beautifully written by @joel.broekaert.
With contributions from, among others, @nelsontanate, @rekkebus, @ronblaauwtje, @jorisbijdendijk, @sidney_schutte & @hvw043.

This is your ticket to Japan without taking a plane 🥢
@tewatashi.ams in De Pijp serves an authentic Edo-Mae Sushi Experience and is super consistent in their quality.
It's the place we keep going back to when we have something to celebrate <3.
In this video I'm sharing the 2 hour experience in 60 seconds.
Still dreaming about the buttery ika nigiri. 🤤

@eetcafe_de_reiger is the spot to remember.
Cozy, casual, and a seasonal menu. This one was on my list to share for a year and finally it's (almost) asparagus season again! 🤤
Another plus? Prices are very reasonable here!
📍 Eetcafé de Reiger
Jordaan, Amsterdam City Centre
Save this spot for when you're craving warm Dutch traditional dishes in the heart of Amsterdam.
And did you hear the same team took over Eetcafé van Beeren? I can't wait to go there too!

A cookbook from Grandma. Three Michelin stars. And a beautiful 70s villa in a quiet neighborhood in Bangkok, where you are welcomed as if you were at the chefs' home.
The Sühring brothers do not cook based on trends; they cook from memories. Of their grandmother's farm, of the flavors of their youth in Germany, and of techniques passed down through generations.
@relaischateaux invited me to experience Sühring during a solo lunch, and this is truly my ultimate definition of culinary self-care.
This was a surprising afternoon in Bangkok, where I ate the best German food I have ever tasted. And that in a city where I normally avoid European restaurants. Well, for @restaurant_suhring, you really want to make that exception.
Signature dishes that I still think back to regularly?
🍴 Labskaus with caviar
🍴 Enleta waffle with Pfalz vinegar
🍴 Game pie
🍴 Dry aged Duck
TIP: If you go to Sühring, reserve the seats at the kitchen bar so you have a view of the chefs at work!
Follow @yourlbb for more tips you can trust.

In this reels I take you along for fine dining in Bangkok at the three Michelin starred restaurant Sühring.
This is one of the nicest free outings in the spring! Did you know that you can gather (or pick, for the connoisseurs 😉) oysters yourself in various places in the Netherlands? I’m in Zeeland for a bit this weekend, and if we can, we’ll go again.
📍In this video, I show where you can fill your bucket.
Comment oester for the comprehensive guide with all details about all 8 locations + handy tips and rules.
Important to know:
– Max. 10 kilos per person (≈ 1 bucket)
– For personal use only
– Do not scoop or scrape the soil
– Go at low tide
Handy to take with you:
Bucket, screwdriver, boots, work gloves, tea towel, clean clothes and garbage bags (for the oysters and dirty clothes).
And of course: also bring an oyster knife, lemon and champagne 🍋🥂Because you want to taste something right away!
The oyster season runs from September to about April / early May, so now that the water isn't so cold, this is the perfect outing.
In the full guide, I share exactly where you can easily find them without much effort. Leave a comment and I'll send it to you right away!
Who do you want to go oyster collecting with soon?

These are those few magical weeks each year when the city suddenly feels different. Everything is in bloom and all you want to do is be outside. Coffee to-go in hand, and just head out as soon as the sun shows up.

By mid-April most of the sakura will already be gone, so if you want to catch it: this is your moment.
I'll definitely be doing a few more rounds before it's over.

How many of these unique terraces in the Netherlands have you visited? From rooftops to hidden courtyards and waterfront terraces.
6 hidden terraces throughout the Netherlands
Nobel: Tucked away on Ameland is the beautiful terrace of Hotel Nobel. According to editor-in-chief Claudia Straatmans, it's the island's hidden gem. And while you're there, you can also enjoy a delicious meal at Restaurant Nobel or spend the night in one of the beautiful hotel's modern design rooms.
Gerrit Kosterweg 16, Ballum – hotelnobel.nl
Nul73: In the city center of Den Bosch, you'll find Nul73. This charming lunch and dinner hotspot is known for its delicious food made with fresh ingredients. But walk all the way to the back and you'll discover a hidden gem! In a small courtyard garden, there are three tables on the terrace, where you can enjoy a romantic dinner among the ivy.
Tower Street 9, 's-Hertogenbosch – nul73lunchendinner.nl
Biergarten: Hidden behind Rotterdam Central Station, you'll find Biergarten. This popular terrace in Rotterdam is only open for a few months a year and grows every year!

Schiestraat 18, Rotterdam – Rotterdam beer garden
't Feithhuis: This city café, nestled in the heart of Groningen, has a classic feel. But let me give you a hint: they're hiding a courtyard and no fewer than two small rooftop terraces! So, you'll have a lovely lunch in the sun. And don't forget to order a coffee afterward: they serve delicious cappuccinos!
Martinikerkhof 10, Groningen – restaurant-feithhuis.nl
Buitenplaats Plantage: This hidden green gem is definitely worth a visit this summer! Buitenplaats Plantage in Vogelenzang boasts a huge garden where you can curl up on a lounge sofa, sit at a table, or simply relax on the grass. They'll have a picnic basket ready for you.

This city beach has a lovely living room feel where you can relax in the sand or lie down on one of the lounge chairs.
