Our History
Started in 2007 together with VMMA as a culinary platform with the promise of elevating the culinary landscape in Belgium.
From bringing the first cooking programs on Belgian television to developping several original food concepts for big brands, providing catering on festivals, working on governmental culinary projects and eventually sports catering. Kookeiland has always been keen on innovating their business.
In 2009, Sportchefs became a big part of Kookeiland. Since the start, we have worked together with several high performance athletes and teams.
From road cycling teams such as Soudal Quickstep and Lotto Soudal, cross country mountainbike teams with Specialized Factory Racing and Cannondale Factory Racing to track and field with the Belgian Borlée family and Nafi Thiam. Last but not least onto the football field at KV Mechelen.
We’ve built a diverse portfolio of professional athletes who count on our culinary expertise.
