The Loaves & Fishes Family

“Our kitchen is truly a family kitchen. My husband, Gerrit, is my partner in our beloved Cookshop. My youngest daughter, Karina, is manager and baker at our Loaves and Fishes Foodstore, and my personal assistant. My youngest son, Kyle, is my partner, mixologist, barman, and wine consultant at the Restaurant. And my son Stefan has recently returned to join our family businesses, and we are thrilled to have him assisting in our journey forward together.”
