Framed by live music provided by the artists of Pasta e Basta restaurant and DJs Hans Stroeve and Berber Esha, guests were able to enjoy a star-studded lunch or dinner. The best chefs of the Netherlands stood shoulder to shoulder and shared their passion with each other and with the audience. This year, the ambiance was again helped by top designer Mariska Jagt, who designed a contemporary accommodation for five days. Also this year, culinary entrepreneur Carsten Klint, co-founder and curator of the annual largest Michelin pop-up restaurant, ensured that guests lacked nothing.
