Hiske Versprille

(The Netherlands, 1982) is a writer, culinary journalist, and poet. Since 2018, she has been writing the weekly restaurant review for Volkskrant Magazine about restaurants throughout the country, from Michelin-starred establishments to snack bars. She also regularly writes background pieces on both gastronomy and more everyday (pop) culinary phenomena such as crisps, sweets, and funeral cakes. Versprille has made several podcasts and also writes for De Groene Amsterdammer and Hard//hoofd. Above all, she is interested in how and what we eat, and all the beautiful and ugly things that happen before and after. She previously cooked in various restaurants in Amsterdam and London, and she is a graduate in ethics. She likes to call herself a principled omnivore, but she finds low-fat margarine disgusting.
