Pan de Muerto

Pan de Muerto: A Bread of Memory and Meaning

Every year when autumn settles in and the days grow shorter, our kitchen fills with the scent of orange blossom and butter. It’s the one moment where my Dutch practicality gives way to my Mexican family’s way of remembering those who came before us. Pan de Muerto isn’t just bread,it’s a quiet ritual. A way of saying we haven’t forgotten you. It is quite some work, but totally worth it.

The dough rises slowly on the counter like a sleeping memory, and as I shape the bones and teardrops on top, I’m always thinking of the stories my wife told me the first time we made it together, how each family has their own version, how the bread is soft but heavy with symbolism, how it’s meant to be shared. And in our home, between the languages and the cultures, that sharing has become its own tradition.

This is the bread that taught me that remembrance can be sweet, simple, and made by hand. It is the dish that changed my way of remembering my lost loved once.

The Limburg Mexico Corner

Limburg… My Roots

I grew up in Venlo, Limburg, a place that still lives quietly in my heart, no matter how far I’ve moved or how many countries I’ve called home. Maybe it’s the distance that made the longing to the flavours of Limburg even stronger. Especially on a Friday night when the world famous VVV-Venlo plays 😉 I still see myself some years ago attending the matches religiously.

Zaorvleis, Duivelkesvleis, and last but not least Kalde Schottel… the tastes that shaped me.

In this section you’ll find the dishes and memories of my youth, the sumptious, bourgundic cooking I grew up with, and the slower rhythm of life that still inspires me today.

More Limburg!

Mexico, Lindo y Querido… My adopted home

Spicy, vibrant, and made with love Mexico swept me off my feet long before I realized it. Fresh, crunchy, fatty, bold, and utterly uncompromising in flavour, it is a cuisine guided by tradition yet always ready to reinvent itself.

Somewhere along the way I got lost at a taco stand in Mexico City with one of my best friends: cheap, cheerful, unforgettable.

And then there’s the dark humour, the warmth of the people, the perfectionism hidden inside something as humble as a birria taco, shaped by hand, dunked in broth and then fried on a comal. Mexico is a place where food is memory, celebration, identity. I fell in love with its cuisine, and it simply never let me go.

Más Mexico!

Writing Sevy’s Stories and cooking these recipes takes time, love, and a lot of beer/coffee/mezcal/tea/water, sweat, tears, and days behind both the computer and the kitchen. Recording dishes and making/editing video is quite the work 😉 work I do lovingly!
