About Us

Welcome to Travelling Cooks! I’m Elene, a 50-ish-year-old British-Belgian woman living in Brussels, surrounded by my beautiful friends and family.

This blog is a celebration of my three great passions—travel, restaurants, and cooking—woven together through stories, flavours, and cultural discoveries. You’ll only find the things that inspire me here—no negative reviews, just heartfelt recommendations and joyful experiences.

My passion for food is something I’ve always shared with my grown-up children, Sebastian and Leana, and now I’m sharing it with you. Whether it’s a comforting family recipe, a street food gem discovered in a faraway market, or a culinary adventure from a recent trip, everything here comes straight from the heart (and the plate!).

Join me as I explore the globe seeking out new flavours, learning from different cultures, and cooking up memories along the way.

Happy travels and Bon appétit!
