Te gek dit! Shamba 💚

Waa wat te gek!

never not the answer. A system change is. Rene's generation of chefs has learned to cook 'the Ramsay way', and luckily in recent years, things have shifted a little. But it's not changing overnight, and it's hard to learn a new leadership style if this is what you've been taught.

a very underestimated job. It's not 'just cooking' as some people commented on the news. Building the Noma brand took courage, vision, ambition. Since El Bulli's closing, there was no other restaurant that could be an institution like that, until Noma. I have a lot of opinions on this, cancelling is

chef can never realise his/her dreams alone. A chef is nowhere without a team. Abuse ofc is never ok, getting physical a no brainer. But in the heat of the moment, the kitchen is a boiling pot of stress, perfection, performance.
I've worked in restaurants and now work with chefs intensively, it's

willing to talk with the current Noma staff, not Rene, not the board. It feels off. Like this is the start of an attack on the restaurant scene in general.
The industry is not for the weak, the (French) education is allowing yelling/aggressive leadership. Its a lot of talent and ambition, and one

Now what? The accounts of physical violence at Noma in the NYT article are both shocking and appalling.

Great article about the Noma developments and sacrifices made by RR, written by a former sous-chef at Noma.
What about 'presumed innocent until proven guilty'? Why cancel one of the most innovative leaders in the industry based on accusations, the sources are not

Moet wel grinniken om al die merken die er nu een flink slaatje uit slaan.

The actual show is nearby at Grand Palais, and the venue is impossible to reach. So everyone is trying to get in here instead.

Viewing party of the Chanel fashion show in a theatre, free of charge so the whole city can experience Paris Fashion Week. The closest thing to attending an actual show, although getting in might be just as hard. Wish me luck 😎

Kijk eindelijk Love Story en ik was afgeschrikt door alle slechte reviews maar ik vind het best goed te doen.
Op dat Byredo flesje op de achtergrond na dan, want dat bestond toen nog niet.
Wel zin in een closet make-over, how I love the simplicity of CK back in the days.

Day 28:
No plans weekend regime results in spontaneous terrace outings yesterday and coffee turning into negroni borrel today. I love the ‘i don’t plan 6 weeks ahead’ policy that I apply.

Wat een beauty!

Day 27:
Little glimmers everywhere. And I didn’t even take pictures of the most precious moments of today; casually enjoying Friday afternoon drinks at one of the OG pubs/terraces of Ams

Zo prachtig daar! Disfruta!

Ook belangrijk! Ik heb sinds kort zo’n sticker, just in case

JA!
Hij doet me altijd aan Draco Malfoy uit Harry Potter denken.

If you want to stay updated on the current situation in Iran/Middle East, Mark is one of the best resources and I highly recommend his newsletter.

Zalig, welcome back!
Hier ook zoveel mogelijk zon momenten meepakken

Day 28:
Featured in the World of Cruise Magazine with my favourite street in Amsterdam

Grappig, ik word door Parijse bureaus voor alle PR-dingen uitgenodigd ook al weten ze dat ik er maar een week per maand ben. In Amsterdam verdwijn je van alle lijsten als je 3x nee zegt, hahaha.

Dus de dop moet verplicht op mijn plastic flesje blijven zitten (altijd knoeiboel), ik krijg papieren rietjes (die al kapot zijn voor je drankje op is), maar dat gore plastic 'papiertje' onderop vlees als gehakt mag nog wel.
Dingen waar ik me toch even over verbaas soms.

Deze week is m’n Crisp bestelling in het teken van het noodpakket, toch nog extra bonen, tomatensaus en water inslaan 🙃

Hoe groot was ie toen je m meenam? (En is mimosa goed te stekken? 😇)

Day 26 & 27:
Enjoying every ray of sunlight

My friends arrived back in Ams this morning, so i can’t wait to catch up on a proper night sleep tonight.

Oh nee, ik heb het echt heel anders gezien! Er zaten ZOVEEL easter eggs in, alles was dubbellaags. En dat Tender gebeuren is alles behalve afgeraffeld, het is het nieuwe (politieke) intrige/schandaal zoals er ieder seizoen eentje in zit.
Vond de Maxwell turn of events heftig, maar passend qua tijd

Conflict spreads to the wider region after the US-Israel strikes on Iran

Oh how I love Monocle’s Globalist in these turbulent times. Their perspectives, sources and diplomacy isn’t there for clicks or likes, but to provide real information.

So far only Maxwell and the former prince have been punished, the world still works on Windows etc.
