Mama Namiye

Mama Namiye is like a holiday on the Turkish coast. She is so hospitable and sweet; everybody loves her! She has many years of kitchen experience and is an excellent addition to Mama’s Koelkast! Mama Namiye is always enthusiastic to start cooking; if she comes along with us in the food truck, her sweet husband always pays a quick visit. He is also a cook, so they’re a tremendous culinary couple together, and he always gets a quick taste in.

Mama Namiye uses her family recipes and all the skills she learned from her mother and grandmother in the kitchen. The result is authentic Turkish dishes, always with much taste and entirely self-made. Mama Namiye is a master in baking her own (flat) bread for expanded lunch menus. Do you want to experience mama Namiye? She loves to welcome you!

Mama Mercedes

Mama Mercedes is our Spanish mama. When she serves her meals, you’ll feel like you’re sitting in the hot summer sun on the Spanish costa. That vacation feeling is complemented by her charming and beautiful appearance as if she’s bringing the Spanish sun to you. When she isn’t working in the kitchen of Mama’s Koelkast on her specialties like Spanish tortillas, mama Mercedes is busy with her other job as a translator and art teacher. You will definitely have a small lesson in speaking Spanish and an artwork at the table when she caters for you.

When mama Mercedes is busy working in the kitchen, she often calls her mother for advice on the correct ingredients and methods to prepare the meals. So an authentic family recipe that was handed over from mother to daughter. Go on a trip to Spain with mama Mercedes!

Mama Keren

Mama Keren, our star from Israel. Everybody becomes happy because of her calm energy, and they have much respect for how she combines her career with caring for her three kids. In Mama Keren’s previous career, she was missing the fulfilment she gets from cooking for others. Sharing the tastes of her childhood, the rich culture of Israel and the memories she has with each dish, that’s what she wanted to do every day. So she changed directions, starting working with Mama’s Koelkast to gain more experience and working towards her goal: carrying out her passion daily.

With Mama Keren, you always get so much more than just food; the experience and ambience are just as important with her. Eating for a long time and sharing stories that is her goal. She prefers to have a table filled with appetisers and meals to share with other people while enjoying the conversations around the table. In mama Keren’s meals, you can taste all sorts of flavours, stories and the culture of Israel! Her self-made lava bread is an integral part of this, definitely something to share and enjoy.

Mama Keren’s specialties

  • A wide range of appetisers, the Israeli answer to mezze
  • Dips like humus and baba ganoush
  • Hand-made lava bread
  • Shakshuka
  • Filled vegetables, with, for example, minced meat, pine nuts and honey
  • Vegetarian tapas

Mama Pao

Mama Pao makes you get acquainted with the real authentic dishes of her motherland China in a very special way because she cooks with vegetables from her own kitchen garden! She also uses vegetables that were rejected because of a weird shape or a ‘wrong’ colour. Because everything is vegetarian, mama Pao calls her style of cooking planet-proof Asian. She is very conscience about sustainability and using products consciously, not just in her own business but also in Mama’s Koelkast, which we think is worth a lot.

Mama Pao cooks the authentic Chinese cuisine, often surprisingly tasteful and subtle. She makes everything herself, from the sauces to the marinades. Such authentic Asian tastes aren’t found very easily! Whether an entire meal or small appetisers, mama Pao will always surprise you.

Mama Pao’s specialties

  • Sustainable, vegetarian Asian food
  • Sticky tofu
  • Dim sum
  • Amazing nasi with black bean sauce
  • Apple sambal made with home-grown apples
  • Gado gado with self-made peanut sauce

Mama Prerna

Mama Prerna is from colourful India and has moved to the Netherlands with her family for her husband’s job. When her kids were old enough to care for themselves, mama Prerna decided it was time for self-development. She wanted to do something with her passion for cooking! She likes to make authentic Indian meals from different regions, richly filled salads and healthy snacks like energy balls and smoothies. Prerna also loves cooking with children! She gives workshops during school holidays where kids learn to make their own vegetable pizzas, smoothies and healthy cookies.

But she also loves to share her skills with grown-ups, and her Indian cooking workshops are always fully booked. A lesson in Bollywood dancing is always a part of the workshop!

The rich Indian cuisine cannot be put into one dish, the country is very large and has a wide range of climates and religions, and due to this, each region has their own dish. But the most well-known curries and Indian roti are dishes we know over here, and mama Prerna loves to cook these dishes. She uses her family recipes for buttered chicken, biryani and her delicious paratha. This type of flatbread with fenugreek leaf is handmade and baked on a special plate. You must have tasted at least one in your life!

  • Authentic Indian curries

  • Cooking with children
