Cannabis in the Netherlands | impact on the hospitality industry
28-9-2016
Extensively in the news last week, the legal production of cannabis. Is the legalization of the production finally happening after years of tolerating? And does this mean that on the long term the use will be legal as well? What does this mean for the hospitality industry? In any case, the use of cannabis will be trendy for a while and new cannabis products will appear on the market. We looked at what restaurants and other producers in America have created around cannabis since it has been legalized for some time now in various states. Below a list with examples of “the impact of cannabis on the hospitality industry.”

Magic Cake
20-9-2016
Recently all over the internet: Magic Cake. We spotted it on Instagram, Facebook and even The Telegraph wrote an article about the miraculous recipe that make three cakes in one! The cake is made of the typical cake batter ingredients (sugar, butter, flour, milk and eggs). The egg yolk, flour, milk and butter are prepared separate from the egg whites and combined right before the unique baking process at low temperatures. Creating a three layered Magic Cake. With a spongy top, a custardy middle layer and a moisty cake base. Although we think that these kind of cakes have been made for years we couldn’t resist making one and try it! One word: delicious!
Marathon du Medoc | the marathon for foodies!
19-9-2016
The 10th of September the Marathon du Medoc took place in the Medoc, near Bordeaux, France. We heard about this Marathon years ago, from that moment on (it must have been more than 20 years ago) I challenged my colleagues to run this French marathon. At that time they were not able yet to run in New York, Paris or London but choose another marathon destination. By now most of them are be able to say: London, been there, New York, done that. Check out the impression restaurant Le Saint Julien made of the marathon this year. I will be watching and toasting wine with the colleagues that do the run, this is the only marathon where you can pull a cork and a muscle.
