Jeroen Meus Looks Ahead to a Fulfilling 2025
Celebrity chef Jeroen Meus is ending 2023 on a high note, radiating contentment and looking ahead with excitement to what 2025 holds. “We will make a second series of ‘De Mosterd‘ in 2025. So I will often be abroad again. I am also working on a new format that I am not allowed to tell you anything about yet. And of course ‘Daily Kost’ continues as usual,” he shares.
This positive outlook stems from a place of personal stability and happiness. “I have a very nice marriage and a wonderful son who has made a good start in secondary school,” he confides. He describes 2022 as a “terrible year,” 2023 as “okay,” and 2024 as a return to normalcy, though acknowledging that things will never be entirely the same.
Finding Balance and Appreciation
Now, Jeroen is relishing a fulfilling balance in his life. “But at the same time I am back in charge of my own life. I have finished work on time every day so that I have enough time for myself. There is a lot of love and balance in my family and life. So bring on 2025, I’m looking forward to it,” he enthuses.
This newly found equilibrium comes after a period of profound personal loss. The passing of his brother Wim left an indelible mark, prompting Jeroen to re-evaluate his priorities and find joy in the simpler things. “I don’t need champagne or Ferrari to have a good time. I’m happy with what I have. I have made a good journey so far, and every now and then I look back and conclude that we have done well. Life is brutal in some ways, but at other times it is incredibly fair,” he reflects.
Culinary Adventures On The Horizon
Jeroen’s professional life is equally bustling, with exciting projects lined up. In addition to the second season of ‘De Mosterd’ slated for 2025, he’s shrouded in secrecy about a brand new project. “I am also working on a new format that I am not allowed to tell you anything about yet,” he teases.
One thing he’s happy to confirm is the ongoing success of his beloved show ‘Daily Kost.’ This long-standing favorite continues to captivate audiences, demonstrating Jeroen’s enduring talent for connecting with viewers through his passion for food and his approachable style.
