About

Hi, there! I’m Lisa. I live near The Hague in The Netherlands, and love to cook and bake.

That's me!
That’s me!

Basil and Oil is about food. I’m posting anything and everything related to food. Healthy or unhealthy. Sweet or salty. Arabic or Dutch cuisine. It doesn’t matter. I love it all.

I appreciate feedback loads, so don’t hesitate to ask or comment anywhere on the blog or on any social media!

Thanks for visiting!

    Lisa ik zie alleen maar recepten…. Wil je ook iets laten weten voor wat betreft catering?

      Ha Hannie, ik heb op deze blog inderdaad niets over catering staan. Wat zou u willen weten? Misschien handig om te mailen erover? Dank voor je bericht!

        Did you buy the icons? we are looking for something different & actually thought of creating our own. Just wanted to let you know that your photography on Instagram is amazing.
