About us
We are Amit & Daniëlle and have made it our mission to introduce more people to the vegetable Indian kitchen!
​
In 2015, Amit came to the Netherlands from India to study at the University of Wageningen. He suddenly had to take care of his own food and with the help of his mother, he quickly learned some basic dishes via video calling. In 2017 he met Danielle and despite the fact that she had never eaten Indian food, she immediately fell in love with Indian cuisine. We spent many hours together in the kitchen!
​
In 2021 we decided to share our favorite cuisine with a wider audience. We organized an online cooking workshop and to our surprise, 50 participants participated in the first weekend. This gave us extra motivation to give more cooking workshops.
​
At the end of 2021 we decided to take the plunge and choose Hey Groentje full-time. We wanted to create more freedom and also had a lot of fun plans. We quit our jobs, sold our apartment and lots of other stuff. After a trip through Europe, we flew on to India. Here we were in the kitchen every day and learned a lot from Amit's mother and grandmother. Our cookbook is also in this period: The vegetable Indian cuisine to arise. Back in the Netherlands, we got more and more nice ones applications for Indian cooking workshops, and we became pregnant. Because of this, we decided to want our own place in the Netherlands again, this time different. For example, we moved to a smaller house, and we immersed ourselves more in sustainability and minimalism.
​
On our website you will find a combination of things that we are involved in. You can read more about the Indian cooking workshops that we offer we share tasteful Indian recipes, we have a podcast and share interesting ones articles on various topics.
​
Chasing our dreams is the best choice we've made so far, and we hope to inspire you with everything we do.

Love,
Amit & Danielle
