About me
Welcome to the All-day kitchen! My name is Denise Kortlever and I work as a food trend writer for a wide variety of brand and media titles such as &C, Wij and LINDA.tv. I write and speak about delicious food, inspiring food trends and successful hospitality concepts. I live in the Netherlands with my husband, son James (3) and baby Kate Jolie. 

My Books
My first cookbook ‘All-day breakfast’ was published in 2015 and features breakfast and brunch recipes. It was the first cookbook with a focus on the still ongoing worldwide breakfast trend. The book is now a bestseller and has also been published in Germany. 
A year later, my book ‘All-day bowls’ came out, focusing on the most delicious dishes in a bowl.
In 2018 my latest book ‘Oh baby!’ was published, offering delightful and healthy recipes for during (and after) your pregnancy.

My food philosophy
I truly believe in balance and variation, in never depriving yourself and in paying a little more attention to a meal. I love avocado toast as much as chocolate tarts and don’t believe in terms like ‘clean eating’.

I find it important that dishes look good, but above all, they must taste delicious and be fairly easy to prepare. I also like to give recipes a unique twist, because it’s the little things that can make all the difference.


Want to collaborate?
I worked with a wide range of brands in the food, lifestyle, hospitality and children industry. You can read more about these kinds of ‘influencer collabs’ on this page.
