Rudolph van Veen already knew he wanted to be a chef as a little boy. In 1985 he graduated from the Culinary School of Breda at the top of his class, and from that moment he was on his way to becoming a master chef. Rudolph won the title of SVH Master, the highest title for a Dutch cook when he was 27. In 2010 he took part in the first ever Dutch exam for the title “Master Patissier” and passed. Thus Rudolph holds both the titles of “Master Chef” and “Master Patissier”. Always looking to share his passion, he has authored nine cookbooks and has worked with a non-profit organization supporting entrepreneurial students. He has been cooking on Dutch TV since 2000 and presently host several programs on 24 Kitchen.
