limited edition eat’in experiences 2013
besides the almost monthly changing eat’inspirations we make this year so-called limited edition eating experiences. in other words, eating experiences for 1 or more days, some at de culinaire werkplaats and some at another venue.
so location scouting is a priority on our agenda. at this very moment we are looking for suitable venues for the themes silence and black.
14-15-16 sept 2012: dinner.talks @ smaakexplosies
during the 4th edition of smaakexplosies, a cultural & culinary festival, we worked on project dinner.talks.
usually we chat quite a lot as we dine, we improve the world, we discuss the highlights of the day, share intimacies, and if dinner tastes really delicious we even swap recipes and cooking tips. but … often we are so noisy while we’re eating that the stories of you dinner most of the time are lost … so we thought it’s time to work on some dinner.talks, two interactive installations: black + colourful dinner.talks.

drive to a different beat
drive to a different beat, an event hosted by bentley in shanghai (june 2012). the keywords of the overall event concept, developed and executed by dvp china eventmarketing (dvp), are:
- the colours dragon red + black
- transformation,
- and drive to another beat.
together with dvp de culinaire werkplaats created a catering concept based upon these keywords. so all the canapés, the welcome drink and cocktails communicate individually the 4 main aspects of the event.

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.
