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

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?
Groet van Hannie Keijzer

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!
