The story behind our handmade products
Made with love
My grandmother is originally from Macedonia. She and my grandfather, from Kosovo, were forced to migrate to Turkey in 1947. My mom is their first child and daughter, and I am the first granddaughter of our family. My grandmom holds a very special place in my heart, as does my mom. Two devoted women in my life, dearly precious!
My grandmom retired from a career as a seamstress. Nowadays she dedicates her free time to her children and grandchildren, and is a pillar of support for me and my business.
These colourful aprons, trivets and pot holders, are lovingly handcrafted by my grandmother together with my mom, applying old-school Balkan expertise on her vintage black Singer sewing machine (treadle, baby). Perfect for anyone who loves to cook in style, and adorn their kitchen with our handmade culinary accoutrements. An elegant gift for any occasion.
Treat yourself or a loved one to different flavours and colours. Add a splash of colour to your table!

pauline krebbers2023-11-05You can taste the love for food in all Nil's dishes. Taking out the meals on Thursday not only saves me time when I'm busy. It allows me to enjoy tasty home cooked vegan food. TIP: Next time you do the take out: order a jar of Gomashio. It tastes good on EVERTYHING! TIP 2: Chia pudding!

Xavier Lavoipierre2023-11-03We highly recommend Global Seasons! Nil works magic with her ingredients. Everything is prepared with an open heart and a big helping of soul. She’s a truly wonderful person. And if you are in Rotterdam, be sure to sign up for a tour! Estella & Xavier
Dorien Bouwmeester2023-09-20Me and my doughter of 3 years old enjoy Nils soup on wednesday. Almost every week it's a different soup but I will know before diner starts, that I will have to be quick or my doughter will finish both our soup bowls!
ILENIA MOTTA2023-09-19Nil is a great cook and a very nice woman! I ordered a couple of portions of veggy lasagna and it was the best lasagna I could have out of Italy!!! Highly recommended!

Jana Elshof2023-09-17Nil kookt hele lekkere, gezonde en betaalbare vegan en vega maaltijden. Daarnaast is ze zelf een vrolijke en lieve vrouw. Het is altijd leuk om de maaltijden op te halen.
Miriam Maggi2023-05-10I joined one cooking workshop at Nil's place with a friend and it was a lovely experience! Both her and her husband made us feel welcome and we all enjoyed cooking together while getting to know each other and having a laugh. Her recipes were delicious too! 😋

Shop local, eat local!
Rechtstreex
We at Global Seasons are fans of shopping and eating locally. With our culinary walking tours we aim to further promote this idea in our area.
We buy our floor from our nearby windmill and our honey from the kinderboerderij in Oud-Charlois. As another element of our commitment, products from Rechtstreex form a major component of our catered meals.
I have worked as a Charlois wijkchef since September 2021. The 'Charlois wijkpunt' is located in de Nieuwe Nachtegaal where I also serve meals for the Buurthap on Mondays and Thursdays.
When you order from Rechtstreex at de Nieuwe Nachtegaal, you can also get your freshly made soup by Global Seasons. Soup pick-up every Wednesday from 15.00 till 19.00 hrs.
