My life as a food nomad

I've always been a traveler. Although I currently count the Netherlands and Austria as my main residences, I am nowhere really at home.

And that's just as well. As a passionate foodie, I love to experience new tastes, to come into contact with people and to experience the magic of new kitchens.

27 bites. Welcome.

My life has changed a lot since my blog was published. My preference for good and healthy food has remained. Just like the irrepressible curiosity about foreign cultures. This is how 27 bites came about ...

- It's common knowledge that thoroughly chewing your food is essential for proper digestion. The mechanical breakdown in your mouth not only supports your health but also awakens your taste buds, allowing flavors to evolve with each bite. Suddenly, that hearty bread takes on a subtly sweet flavor, and the almonds transform into a delightful marzipan-like texture. It's fascinating how a little mindfulness during meals can completely transform your culinary experience. It's not just about chewing your food adequately; it's also about breaking down and savoring your experiences. Who knows what exciting mix of flavors and sensations might arise from this practice? The recommended frequency for chewing your food or processing your experiences can vary depending on the complexity of the "meal" you're dealing with. Personally, I aim to chew my food at least 27 times before swallowing, which is why I've chosen the name "27 bites" for this format. Join me as we embark on a culinary journey around the world, savoring every moment and every bite along the way.
