Paola Westbeek

I am a journalist, editor, proofreader, translator, recipe developer and content creator. My focus is gastronomy, wine, travel, art, culture and lifestyle texts. I write in both Dutch and English (US & UK). Currently, I am chief editor to the North American magazine DUTCH, (the only magazine about the Netherlands, published in Canada and the US and available in digital form internationally) and Discover Benelux. I am also sub-editor to Inside Rotterdam. My work has been featured in UK publications such as FRANCE Magazine and French Property News. I had a regular culinary column in French Property News and was responsible for the food and drink news pages of FRANCE Magazine. I contributed articles to Culture. I regularly write for leading France publications published in the Netherlands, such as Leven in Frankrijk and En Route (which featured my culinary columns). Additionally, I write for respected gastronomic journal, Bouillon. I currently contribute to Reader's Digest UK and am the magazine's food and drinks editor. My work also regularly appears in award-winning travel magazines such as b.spirit.
