My name is Leonor

and I am passionate about food, sustainability and relationships. I have felt this way in crescendo for 39 years now!

I’m also member of the RABAD (réseau bruxellois de l’alimentation durable).

What do I love the most? The magic that takes place between people around a good meal, especially if it has been prepared together! And if I may add something else ... it’s also the great joy and pride felt when a person tells me that s/he regularly puts the recipes and tricks s/he has learned to use for him/herself and his/her loved ones.

My career path? A 13-year adventure in the food industry! With a degree in commercial sciences in hand, I followed my passion for food, starting with 5 years in the kitchen in New York and London. I then moved to Brussels in the retail sector, with a stint in the delicatessen, vegetarian and catering purchasing department at Delhaize, followed by an experience in a start-up company selling delicious raw sauces, and finally a great experience at Colruyt Group in the young food R&D department. On the side, I have always been active in the associative field by giving cooking courses or as a volunteer in various projects of social inclusion through food.

These years have not only given me solid expertise in food, especially in the area of food waste, which is of particular interest to me, but have also given me a better understanding of the needs and desires of today's consumers for their everyday cooking.
