Rene Ekamp

Rene had always been fascinated by the world of culinary arts. Growing up, he spent countless hours in the kitchen with his mother, who was a talented chef herself. Together, they would experiment with new recipes and flavors, and Rene’s love for food only grew stronger with each passing day.

As he got older, Rene knew that he wanted to pursue a career in the culinary industry. He decided to attend culinary school in the Netherlands, where he honed his skills and specialized in pastries. After graduating, he worked in various restaurants across the country, gaining valuable experience and perfecting his craft.

But Rene’s culinary journey didn’t end there. In 2021, he decided to pack his bags and embark on a new adventure, traveling to the beautiful island of Curacao. It was there that he landed a job at Housen’s culinary experience.

From the moment Rene started working at Housen’s, he knew that he had found his calling. All he could think about was creating delicious food that would delight and excite customers. And behind the scenes, Rene became the brain and developer of House of pastries.

With his passion for food, his creativity, and his dedication to his craft, Rene quickly became an integral part of the Housen’s team. He continued to experiment with new flavors and techniques, pushing the boundaries of what was possible in the world of pastry-making.
