Who is Henk Savelberg?

Henk Savelberg is a Dutch head chef. Up until now, he is the only head chef in the Netherlands awarded a Michelin star in four different restaurants.

Savelberg comes from a mining family of five children. At a young age he lost his mother, so he was mainly raised by his father and sister. He went to the hotel school in Sittard. He trained, amongst others, in Kasteel Wittem and hotel Terminus.

When he was 17, he enlisted in the Netherlands Marine Corps. During an exercise in Norway he got frozen toes and as a consequence he had to leave the service.
