History

As a Muslima dietician, I was interested in food in the Islamic context and the value of the halal market, however, there was little information on this in the Netherlands.
In 2008, I decided to do some research by meeting different halal certifiers and collecting halal information and data on the internet. I started my own website with a view to providing regular dietary advise and general halal food advise.
I discovered the business side of halal when I was invited to help organizing the first halal expo in the Netherlands and inviting companies. Further, my network was growing after I had my exhibition stand at the first halal expo in the Netherlands where I discovered more about the halal market. My network continued to grow globally and I got the opportunity to learn and discover a lot from scientific and Islamic views about halal food.

In 2013 I achieved my dream; I officially started my own company, Voorlichtingsbureau Halalvoeding (which directly translated means ‘Information Office Halalfood’) and offered consultancy, workshops, presentations and dietary advice with the aim promoting healthy lifestyles for all.
My presentations primarily focused on on halal education and awareness.

My website www.ikeethalal.nl (means I eat halal) has grown more and more and got lot of followers and at facebook. There are various facets on the site around halal nutrition and focused on the needs of the consumer including dietary advice, diversity of halalproducts and halal legislation on halal food in which beyond just one halal certificate is being looked at by creating awareness. Also I tried to show the positivity of the term halalfood as in Europe there was growing the anti halal movement, particularly against non-stun slaughter of animals.

Mijn naam is Mariam Aaras en heb deze website gemaakt door en voor jullie om zoveel mogelijk informatie te bieden daar waar veel vragen, discussie en behoefte naar was. Dieetadviezen vanuit de Nederlandse keuken, maar ook rekening houdend met de halalrichtlijnen die moslims hanteren. Daarnaast heb ik een brede interesse in de multiculturele keukens. Zelf ben ik een dubbelbloedje van Marokkaanse en Nederlandse komaf wat mij rijk heeft gemaakt aan voedingskennis. Het is de granaatappel waarmee mijn vader me heeft geïnspireerd om de genezende werking van fruit te gaan onderzoeken en de vijgenboom van mijn opa in Marokko. Mijn moeder heeft me de gezondheidseffecten van boerenkoolstampot en erwtensoep geleerd met een halaltintje. Je bent wat je eet en gezond eten begint bij kennis. Voeding brengt mensen bij elkaar en de verscheidenheid aan culturen is een rijkdom want na zoveel jaren ben ik nog steeds niet uitgeleerd. Voeding mijn levenspassie en help er graag anderen mee om er van te genieten en gezonder van te worden.
