An edible poem on sea vegetables with guest chef Lisa Veenstra
Lisa Veenstra is cooking up a 3+ course dinner with vegetables from and around our salty waters. Together we explore new spice combinations: how do we season naturally salted vegetables? Expect a full on vegetarian menu filled with oceanic flavours, new textures and listen to poetry while sippin' some natural wines.
This will be the very first dinner on the new location (exciting!)Ā in Amsterdam Noord and seats around 15 people.

Curious about the menu?Ā Chef Lisa is formally trained at Choux - previously Toscanini - and cooks very clever dishes such as oyster leaves with pickled chanterelles, hazelnut and sea aster oil, or a salty potato mousse with wild broccoli, green tea, seaweed, smoked enoki and a sabayon with saffron. I mean, who doesn't want to eat that?!

Collaborators
Teamwork makes the dream work, right?
Thatā€™s why we like to work with designer friends and other cool people (yes, without you we couldnā€™t have done this) that bring the same energy and fun to the table. Our dinners are the perfect opportunity to highlight and experience the beauty of their craftsmanship. Think funky cups, hand painted table linen, spoken word sound design and photography. Interested in collaborating with us? Get in touch.
