About Bernadette
The story, passion, and person behind Bee’s Home Cookery

My Culinary Journey
Hello! I’m Bernadette Van Winckel, but you can call me Bee. My love affair with food began in my grandmother’s kitchen in the countryside, where I first learned that cooking is about more than just following recipes—it’s about creating moments and memories.
After studying culinary arts and working in several restaurants, I realized my true passion was for home cooking—creating delicious, approachable food that brings people together around the table.
In 2018, I started Bee’s Home Cookery as a small blog to share my recipes with friends and family. What began as a hobby quickly grew into a food community that shares my belief that good food doesn’t have to be complicated.
Here at Bee’s Home Cookery, you’ll find a collection of recipes inspired by family traditions, everyday home cooking, and the simple joy of sharing a meal with loved ones. I enjoy creating dishes that are comforting, flavorful, and easy to prepare.
Thank you for being here and for allowing Bee’s Home Cookery to be part of your table.
