About Global Seasons

basil-leaf

Hello and welcome!

My name is Nil. I am grateful you have reached out to our website at Global Seasons! If you love eating, cooking, exploring global cuisines, attending cooking workshops, and plan to offer some tasty bites or wholesome prepared meals for your loved ones and employees, you are in the right place. This is where the Global Seasons connection blossoms.

The Global Seasons menu is vegetarian because these foods are delicious, nutritious and offer great versatility. Cooking with plant foods is so much fun to me because they can be used to shape your recipes in so many different ways.

I strongly believe that consuming fresh local produce, and cooking with wholesome and unprocessed ingredients in season are healthy for us and healthy for the planet.

I bought the gomashio from them twice in 1 months already. It was really delicious and will definitely come back again.

I attended the Turkish Vegan Meze workshop last year and it was a truly wonderful experience. The workshop was very well organized and felt both welcoming and inspiring from start to finish. We learned how to prepare a variety of traditional Turkish meze dishes, all vegan, using fresh ingredients and authentic techniques. Everything was explained clearly, with lots of interesting cultural context behind the food! Will definitely attend more similar workshops organized by Nil!

I joined one of the food events, namely the Turkish breakfast and really enjoyed it! The food was sooo delicious, and the atmosphere was very cozy and friendly. Met new cultures through the food and new friends at the table. :) I feel that represents Global Seasons well.

I experienced Nil's Turkish breakfast awhile back, and it did not disappoint. There was so much food. And everything was so delicious! I would definitely come back for another breakfast or event.

Nil Duru, eigenaar van Global Seasons, heeft opnieuw – en weer geheel tot mijn tevredenheid - de catering verzorgd bij mij thuis in Amsterdam. Dit keer na afloop van mijn 11e huiskamerconcert door Mehmet Polat Quartet t.g.v. mijn 65e verjaardag. Haar gerechten waren ook deze keer weer heel erg lekker (een orzo tomaten groentesoep en een lasagne met pompoen, Franse linzen, paprika en mais) en iedereen aanwezig heeft er volop van genoten. De porties waren ook dit keer ruim bemeten en ik heb van de overgebleven soep nog ruim een week genoten. De resterende bak lasagne heb ik echter geschonken aan een groep internationale studenten woonachtig in broedplaats ACTA bij mij in de buurt. Vandaag kwamen zij de lege tray bij mij terugbrengen en bedankten mij uitbundig voor deze onverwachte gelegenheid kennis te kunnen maken met de kookkunsten van Nil. Hun reactie was: “The lasagna was really amazing! We all enjoyed a second helping.” Als oudere jongere ben ik oprecht blij dat ik deze tray ovenschotel met hen heb gedeeld, ook al hadden zij voor mij zelfs niet een heel klein stukje bewaard ;-) Als troost heb ik het resterende deel van Nil’s extraatje, een frisdrank met basilicum op receptuur van haar moeder, lekker helemaal in mijn eentje opgemaakt. Ik raad catering door Global Seasons (‘plantbased’ vegetarisch) aan iedereen van harte aan! Nil levert een kwalitatief topproduct en voor een alleszins redelijke prijs!

Nil is een fantastische kok en een heel fijn mens. Je kunt heerlijk eten bij haar afhalen, bijna iedere donderdag. Daarnaast heeft ze bij mij thuis gekookt voor een groot verjaardagsdiner. Lekkere starters, beeldschone dumplings en een frisse limoentaart. Ze was heel flexibel in voorbereiding en doet er alles aan om jouw event naar wens te maken. Dus boek haar vooral eens als 'private chef' voor jouw even!

I joined Turkish breakfast by Nil. It was a perfect event for me as I was missing the authentic Turkish breakfast in Netherlands. Nil had many genuine products on table and there was more food than we could eat. I would love to be back one of her breakfasts!

My food philosophy

My food philosophy is to eat what’s tasty when it’s at its tastiest and use ingredients that are local, available and seasonal.

I am neither vegetarian nor vegan. However, our menu at home is largely plant-based, while occasionally including fresh fish or poultry, and only rarely, small quantities of quality meat.  Be assured however that all of our offerings at Global Seasons are 100% vegetarian.

I eat when hungry, my meals at home not following fixed hours, particular diets or specific food trends. I am fond of carrots, beets, aubergines, cucumbers, tomatoes, peppers, courgettes and all the brassica vegetables like cauliflower, kale and kohlrabi. I love mung beans, cranberry beans, chickpeas and lentils.

I detest throwing food away and love cooking and re-building new dishes from leftovers.

Quality is even more important than quantity. I love exploring open markets and food stalls. We support local groceries, shops and open markets in Rotterdam.

Our suppliers:

One of our suppliers are Rechtstreex, Afrikaanderplein open market, De Zandweg windmill (flour&honey), Picnic and Pit&Pit.

When at Dokhuis, we often order from Boerderij Landzicht, Lokalist, Sligro, Bidfood and Hoeve Biesland.

I invite you to have a look at our Thursday meals that we cook every week in Stichting de Nieuwe Nachtegaal.

You are welcome to try our seasonal meals on Thursdays or order monthly stack of frozen meals in Charlois.

Dokhuis

"I was discovered by Dokhuis in December 2024 via my weekly Thursday buurthap in Stichting de Nieuwe Nachtegaal. The social coordinator Janet gave a positive referral to Inge. So this is where it began.
 
Since January 2024 I have been working as head chef at Dokhuis. I prepare Monday lunch meals for Nivoz, and I am also responsible for the private catering events when it is requested to serve food or snacks.
 
I feel the warmth, appreciation, and a welcoming space here in Dokhuis. I have been working since I was 16 years old.
Considering all the different areas that I have worked and experienced, all the different cultures and work environments for about 20 years in my life I can easily say it out loud that Dokhuis is the perfect place to be valued and recognized for what you do!"
 
Dokhuis is located on the Doklaan 10, 3087 CB Rotterdam. They offer flexworking spaces, expositions, workshops and much more.
