She starts out her process by looking at what ingredients she has in the fridge and a lot of the time something will inspire her and create an image in her mind and off she goes creating food masterpieces.
Jolanda makes sure that every element in her dish is edible, so nothing is purely for decoration and should be taken off before eating. It’s all made of food, and sometimes food coloring is used. But in most cases, Jolanda uses spices and vegetable juices almost like paint to add color and dimension to her food art.
What’s also interesting is that Jolanda didn’t set out for internet success and stardom. She was just doing it at home for her kids and because she found the process to be creatively engaging and enjoyable. It was the kids who encouraged their mom to set up an Instagram profile and share her creations with the world.
