The heart of Die Pienk Huis is its incredible team, who bring passion and dedication to every dish served. At the forefront is Lizzy, affectionately known as "Mom." As the head chef, Lizzy oversees everything in the kitchen, ensuring that each meal is prepared with love and care. Her favorite dish to prepare? The mouthwatering pampoenkoekies with caramel sauce, which has become a crowd favorite.
Next, there's Idah, the silent hero behind the scenes. Known for her speed and precision, Idah ensures that the kitchen runs smoothly, from cleaning to chopping ingredients faster than anyone else. She’s the backbone of the operation, and no one chops onions like Idah!
Then there’s Mirian, the queen of all things sweet. She’s been baking alongside Lizzy since they were children, and her skill in the kitchen is unmatched. From wedding cakes to birthday cupcakes, Mirian’s creations are the highlight of every event. She treats every cake like one of her children, ensuring each one is baked to perfection.
And finally, meet Sophie, the “Jack of all trades.” Whether it’s baking, cooking, or cleaning, Sophie steps in whenever someone is needed. She holds the record for baking 200 pancakes in one morning, a feat that speaks to her dedication and skill.
