Earlier we saw baristas that turn a simple cup of coffee into a wonderful creation, like Mike Breach. At Lets Caffe in Taiwan they make a very special and creative latte art of photos. The café serves coffee with a print of your own photo. Guests can give a picture of themselves or their label and it will be placed in the coffee machine. The coffee machine makes a perfect copy of the picture of cacao powder on the cup of coffee.
Pop-up restaurant ‘Eenmaal’ opens on Friday June 28th and Saturday June 29th. The pop-up restaurant is the first single restaurant in the world. Where you normally go out for dinner together, at restaurant ‘Eenmaal’ you will sit alone at a table. The restaurant serves a four course dinner and only has tables for one person. The purpose of the pop-up restaurant is to make a public place more attractive for single people and change the image of being alone in public. The pop-up restaurant is a social design project of Marina van Goor along with branding agency Vandejong.
At the website GEWOONWATEENSTUDENTJESAVONDSEET.blogspot.nl former student Leonie writes about her simple and decent dinners. She mostly creates her own dishes, but sometimes she is inspired by cookbooks. Her blog is viewed 1,400 times a day and her Facebookpage has received nearly 25,000 likes in two years. A student restaurant in Amsterdam can respond to this blog by inviting Leonie for a dinner and let her write a blog about it. This way restaurants generate a lot of free publicity.

A nice and simple Father’s day action of hotel Taj West End Bangalore, India. Followers can share one of their dad’s favorite sayings and quote them with #MyDadAlwaysSays on Twitter. The best quote will win a father’s day lunch in the restaurant.
Café ‘The Ground of Alexandria’ is located in an old pie factory from the early 1900’s in Sydney. ‘The Ground of Alexandria’ has a coffee research center and a garden with vegetables, fruit and herbs. In the coffee research center they experiment with different roasting profiles and techniques based on individual types of coffee and beans. Several classes are organized for people of all ages to learn more about the journey of coffee and food from seed to plate. A bakery is located in the café where they make fresh bread and sweet pastries every day. The café has an extensive coffee menu and serves a rustic menu of sustainable ingredients, mainly from their own garden. ‘The Ground of Alexandria’ is nominated for the ‘Restaurant and bar design award’.
On June 16 it is Father’s Day again. The steakhouse ‘Midtown Grill’ of the Marriott Hotel in Amsterdam organizes a nice photo shoot. Fathers with sons can take a picture in cooking clothes, surrounded by cooking utensils in the kitchen of Midtown Grill. They will pose with the famous dish of the restaurant, the sea salt grilled T-bone steak of 3.5 pounds. After the shoot they can eat the dish together.
On a regular basis we hear that the ideas we show at our website are too far from the daily reality of the restaurant or hotel entrepreneur. There is too little time to bring ideas, with your own twist, in practice. We recently visited Paris and at two restaurants we had the opportunity to enjoy one dessert for the whole table. A giant profiterole filled with ice-cream and topped with chocolate at Le Comptoir de la Gastronomie. Not a great dessert in looks but delicious chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. Based on the sharing part I made a ‘Meringue Peche Melba’ this weekend, fresh peach and raspberry combined with meringue and fresh strawberry sauce and ice-cream, for 4 persons on one plate. And if you prepare this dessert on the table, by breaking the gigantic meringue, your dessert becomes even more spectacular! This idea is based on the video of the dessert for the whole table of Alinea, Chicago. Watch the video once again on what they do with the chocolate ball! This is an example of how you can use ideas and make them your own, enjoy being creative! Your guest certainly will with a dessert like this! ^Marjolein
The ‘Croque Monsieur’ Rap By Wordburglar pays homage to the classic French sandwich. The YouTube video features a lot of Croque Monsieurs. Wordburglar is far from the first rapper to express his love of food, though. Check The Huffpost Taste for a list of food raps. And we would like to suggest a rap to pay homage to our classic Dutch ‘Bitterbal’.
