Home Cooking

Catering

Your home, your restaurant. That is exactly where Carmines Home Cooking stands for. You decide what you want to eat, but you do not do anything yourself. Eating at home is like dining in a restaurant. You are the host in your ‘own’ restaurant. You make a ‘reservation’ for that special evening with your friends, we take care of the rest. We do the cooking, serving, washing up and are available to you all evening to the very end. You do not have to worry about anything. Everything is done for you. Extra service? Yes. Silver candlesticks? Done. (Poems read at the table? No problem!) Carmines Home Cooking will do everything to make sure you will be able to concentrate entirely on your much-valued guests. Upon request, we will be quite happy to explain to you the products we use, how everything is prepared and elaborate on the fine wines of your choice.

Deep-fried gambas crumbed with sesame seed on Rucola lettuce with Japanese soy dressing. Crisply baked sweetbread on ‘olive oil-toast’. Deep-fried oyster-kebab with an herbal dressing. Foie gras on rye/nut bread with onion marmalade and lamb’s lettuce. Just a small selection of the exclusive dishes from the ‘arsenal’ of Carmines Home Cooking. Whether it’s a small gathering, a large party or a busily attended reception at work, we will take care of everything. It goes without saying that serving the drinks is included. A wine-tasting party is a highly specialised job that we are happy to organise for you. For the most diverse occasions, Carmines Home Cooking has the fitting expertise and solutions.

The cooks behind Carmines Home Cooking

Products

Carmines Home Cooking is an initiative of two cooks having over 35 years of experience in the kitchen. Peter Wiebenga (51) has had two restaurants, Les Ombrelles and Trudot. The latter was started from scratch with his current partner Sander in the kitchen. A second price in the ‘De Gouden Pollepel’ (The Golden Ladle) competition proves we have a good team here. Sander Beekink (32) learned the tricks of the trade in the widely renowned restaurants Seinpost, Le Bistroquet, Les Ombrelles and Trudot. The already wide experience has recently been broadened by culinary travels to the Far East.

Carmines Home Cooking uses first class ingredients only. As an example, Iranian Caviar, first class salmon, eel and top class cigars. Carmines Home Cooking has an alliance with the famous house of Jacobus Toet Caviar BV.
