Get to know me, Leo – the Chef behind the scene.
Welcome to L’Aubergine, where flavors come alive and every dish tells a story. Allow us to introduce the creative force behind our food truck, Chef Leonard V.
With over 20 years of culinary experience in the vibrant city of Amsterdam, Leonard has become a master of fusion cuisine, blending the rich, aromatic flavors of the Middle East with the fresh, vibrant tastes of the Mediterranean. His culinary journey began in Romania, where he learned the art of cooking from his grandmother, whose recipes and techniques still inspire his creations today.
A Culinary Journey
Leonard’s passion for cooking was ignited at a young age. Watching his grandmother prepare traditional dishes with love and precision instilled in him a deep appreciation for quality ingredients and authentic flavors. This early exposure to culinary artistry laid the foundation for his future endeavors.
After moving to Amsterdam, Leonard honed his skills in various kitchens, always pushing the boundaries of traditional cuisine to create something uniquely his own. In 2015, he launched L’Aubergine Food Truck, bringing his innovative fusion cuisine to the streets and earning a loyal following.
