My name is Sjoerd Blom. I am a Dutch WordPress specialist and full-time chef.

On sjoerdblom.nl, I combine my interest in technology and cooking. I build WordPress websites and also write about food, cooking, and my experiences in the kitchen.

I focus on:

  • Building and maintaining WordPress websites
  • Technical solutions within WordPress
  • Content and experiments around food and cooking
  • Working as a chef in a professional kitchen

This combination makes my profile different from most developers or food bloggers.

Within WordPress, I work on:

  • Custom-built websites
  • Performance and optimisation
  • Practical solutions without unnecessary complexity

My focus is on clear, reliable websites that are easy to maintain.

Alongside my technical work, I work full-time as a chef. This gives me a practical perspective on food, ingredients, and preparation.

I write from real experience, not just theory.

This website is my central place online. It connects my work in WordPress with my work as a chef.

Interested in working together or have a question? Feel free to get in touch.
