19 okt, 2011: pechakucha night amsterdam #19
at a very cold october evening in roest amsterdam marjolein & eric have presented one of their ideas at pechakucha night amsterdam #19 bound by the world famous rule: 20 slides of 20 seconds each for 6 min and 40 secs of fame.
marjolein & eric presented: the last farewell of today’s dinnerplate: meet the blacks.
- they start with a poem, a longlist of a great number of black vegetal ingredients to illustrate that the dinnerplate of the future doesn’t have to be anything but empty. and they wanted to share the idea that by eating dark/black veggies and fruits you all can contribute to a colourful future.
the other presenters of this inspiring evening:
- Pinar & Viola, Olivier Otten (Selfcontrolfreak), Toine Donk/Daniël van der Meer (Das Magazin), Robert Audroué, Rikkert Paauw (Stortplaats van Dromen), Hans van den Berg, Jan Ros, Guido Nieuwendijk, Alison Killing (Killing Architects), Michiel van Abbe/Ronald van Vessem (VANABBETOTVESSEM), Magieke Jansen (NetNietjes) and Reed van Brunschot.
the making of ….
koen de groote of lalito is writing and publishing a literary cookbook. every chapter is devoted to a novel and a matching restaurant in words and in food. so our homework for this summer was to read paralipomena orphica by harry mulish, a booklet loaded with amusing stories about death.
after the first meeting with koen, we said to him ‘count us in‘. the eat’inspiration was born in no-time. and we were looking forward to a photoshoot at a graveyard. as finishing touch the weather gods were very favorable. at the day of the photoshoot, augustus 24, it was raining cats and dogs. and during the photoshoot the pouring rain was accompanied by some thunder and lightning.
here some images of the making of… made by rens spanjaard. the title is still a questionmark as koen keeps this a secret from us.

look at this tribute to the vitelotte noir.
one of the signatures of de culinaire werkplaats is to approach the plate of the future using the inspirational concept black. it is also the first inspirational theme when de culinaire werkplaats introduced itself to the world.
