Chef Sido de Brabander is the main figure of all international food festival at Leonardo Royal Hotel in The Hague. "the kitchen is my second home ". Because of all the traveiling I did around the world plus my interest in the different kitchens all around the world, I learned a lot about having respect for food, and the way you treat it. I believe that we have a lot to learn in the Netherlands about respect for (good) food. For example, in Italy they say: “You live to eat, you don’t eat to live.”
