I am Michèle Vanbesien, inspirer of Natuurelles since 2016.

In 2014 strandde ik in de banksector als private banker met een burn out. Via loopbaanbegeleiding kwam ik uit bij mijn kinderdroom om een eigen zaak te runnen. Koken is mijn passie.

I love the cookbooks of Yotam Ottolenghi.Thanks to him, a new world opened up to me with new flavour sensations and combinations that often inspire me in the kitchen of Natuurelles.

When we had to switch from small restaurant to takeaway during the lockdown, it was frightening at first. But soon I found that this opened many doors for me. I could cook without time pressure and could really focus on the cooking process and creating dishes. The mindful cooking was born and the concept changed to caterer.
