I am Mega, a mom, a designer turned professional chef, and once proudly known as a Chef de Cuisine at home.

I was born in Jakarta and raised in Bandung, Indonesia. Moved to the land of the windmills a.k.a. Netherlands when I was 11 where I currently live with my husband and two daughters.

Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. From fashion and architecture to sharing a love for Jeeps with my husband, I am endlessly curious. But food has always been my greatest passion. I still cannot decide what I enjoy more, cooking or eating. Probably both, preferably at the same time.

The kitchen has always been my favorite place. As a child, I loved helping my mother cook and tasting her dishes. Those early memories shaped the way I cook today, with warmth, generosity, and bold flavors.

I began sharing my cooking on Instagram. in 2011, and since 2019, through my own account, @MegarasaTV. After countless messages from friends, family, and even strangers asking for recipes and tips, I launched my YouTube-channel also named Megarasa. My goal is simple: to inspire people to cook more at home and to enjoy creating delicious food for the people they love.

In 2025, I made a major career switch and decided to fully follow my culinary dream. I enrolled at the Ron Blaauw College, founded by Michelin-star chef Ron Blaauw, where I trained professionally. During this journey, I also gained experience at the Michelin-star restaurant 't Ganzenest, led by chef Eric Tas. These experiences transformed my lifelong passion into my full-time profession.

This year, I am excited to expand my work by offering private dining experiences and hands-on workshops, bringing my cooking directly to your table and into your kitchen.

If you have any questions, or if you have made a dish from one of my recipes. I'd love to hear from you via one of my social media channels.

Don't forget to like and subscribe to my YouTube-channel. Greetings from my little green kitchen and much love,

Mega
