| Partner name | René Pluijm |
| Website | www.renepluijm.com |
| Information | When René Pluijm was eight he fell in love with cooking, standing beside his mother at the stove where he tried to steal the nicest titbits. For the television programme “Pluijm op pad” he travelled through Europe, hunting for hidden gastronomic cultures. Always hungry for new food treasures, always back to the source. For Xpectacolo the chef scours the areas in and around Greater The Hague in search of exquisite ingredients and dishes. There is so much for him to discover but fortunately Pluijm has promised to share his treasures with you. Because Xpectacolo is an experience for all the senses (seeing, listening, tasting, smelling, feeling), he finds it a paradise for chefs and guests alike. Pluijm agrees with the famous French chef Savarin (1755-1826) who once said: “The only snag of eating is the disappearance of hunger.” Pluijm wishes you an expactacular taste experience. |
