About the chef
Guru Khalsa-Smit
As a lifelong vegetarian it has not always been easy to come across good tasting food. It’s taken a long time for tasty vegetarian and vegan food options to make their way on to the menus of cafes and restaurants here in Amsterdam.
But thankfully so, as this same frustration also fueled my desire to explore the world of cooking. Experimenting with flavor combinations and creating yummy new vegetarian and vegan dishes became my pastime.
Since 2013 I have been lucky enough to put my cooking skills to the test, working as a freelance cook, offering caterings, making lunches for different co-working spaces and offices as well as menu development.
​
My passion and joy for cooking is what then led me to start my own catering company in 2017, Veggies & Spice.
What I love most about cooking is the creative outlet it gives me. Playing with flavors and textures as well as creating food that puts a smile on people’s faces.
​
After 7 years of running Veggies & Spice I stopped offering my catering services as of December 31 2023.
It was great fun to cook for so many different types of events and I am grateful for the opportunity to have been able to share my food with so many people.
I learned so much over the years and now I want to share that knowledge with the world.
​
As of 2024 I am focusing on a new creative food journey of creating vegetarian & vegan menus for cafes/restaurants, writing a cookbook, developing recipes for food brands and collaborating with others on creative food projects.

Thank you so much for the delicious food, excellent service and coordination. We only received positive feedback from our team. I look forward to working together more often in the near future.
The food tonight was lovely, thank you so much.
Our board members were surprised— I’d told them we’d provide a ‘simple meal’— they weren’t expecting something so special.
