Current projects
Fasting and feasting
Diet culture has taken on new dimensions with keto, vegan and intermittent fasting, while buttery pastries have become a party for one. When food, soul and religion have always been intertwined, how do we relate modern food trends to a growing interest in psychotherapy, psychedelics, meditation and even, the church?
Outside the manosphere
Help me get through to Louis Theroux
No, the follow-up to Louis Theroux’s Netflix documentary Inside the Manosphere should not be tradwives. Read what I believe should be next.
Pivlaqui: the cookbook
Take the fancy cups and saucers from the cupboard, spread a colourful cloth over the table, put flowers in a vase and dress up for a first-ever reunion of my most beloved food family: pivlaqui. Pítes, vlaai, quiche, tartes, frgal, crostata, erbazzone, Linzertorte. Everything low, filled, baked. Distant cousins welcome, next generation in the making.

Hello, I am Sophie Huijts
A couple of years ago, I started a blog to be able to share the stories and the people along my travels through Europe.
Gradually, my blog became a means for me to express myself and share the beauty I see in the world. To feel it.
As a child, I dreamt of becoming Julia Roberts in Notting Hill. My work has become my way within my means of building that world. And I hope it will do for you what Notting Hill did for me back then: making you dream of the life you want to get for yourself.
QUESTIONS?
Whether you’re just curious to know more about my work or have a specific question, I look forward to hearing from you.
