HANDS-ON, TOGETHER, UNFORGETTABLE
Leer de geheimen van Michelin-ster kooktechnieken - vanaf 6-12 personen
Imagine this: you're gathered around the professional cooking island, ingredients beautifully laid out before you, and Chef Hugo by your side, ready to reveal the complex techniques behind Michelin-starred dishes.
This isn’t your average cooking class — it’s a journey into the heart of haute cuisine, where you’ll experience the magic of refined flavour pairings and advanced culinary techniques firsthand.
From secret mise en place to the perfect moment of plating — experience what it means to cook like the world’s finest chefs.
YOUR CULINARY JOURNEY BEGINS HERE
Here’s what you can expect
17:30 – Welcome!
Your evening begins with a welcome drink as Chef Hugo reveals tonight’s menu. No stress, no rush — just pure anticipation and wonder for what’s to come. You’ll hear the stories behind each dish and discover the techniques you’ll soon be mastering yourself.
18:00 – Divide & Conquer
Your group splits into 2-3 teams. Each team starts with a different course – from refined amuse-bouches to complex desserts. All ingredients are ready and waiting, grouped together around the large cooking island. This is where the magic begins.
18:30 – Mise-en-Place Magic
Together we prepare everything just as real chefs do. Knife work, marinades, sauces – every step executed with precision and pleasure. Chef Hugo demonstrates how to work efficiently and reveals where the true quality of preparation lies.
20:00 – The first Masterpiece
Time for the first course! Around 20:15 you'll serve what you've created yourselves. Tasting together, savouring, and above all: taking pride in what you've put together.
21:00 – Main Course Excellence
Once the main course is cooked through, we'll plate it up – by you, for you. This is the moment when everything comes together: techniques, flavours, presentation.
22:00 – Sweet Finale
The dessert forms the perfect finale. Complex, surprising, and entirely made by you.
23:00 – Finale
We close with coffee or tea. You'll go home with all the recipes in digital format and with the confidence that you now know how Michelin-level cooking truly works.
WHAT MAKES THIS WORKSHOP SPECIAL?
🍽️ Real Michelin-techniques
Not simple home cooking, but the actual techniques of starred restaurants. Complex dishes where multiple components come together to create one perfect dish.
👨🍳 Personal guidance
Chef Hugo is beside you every step of the way. Any questions? He will help you immediately. Doubts? He guides you through the process. Self-confidence is gained by doing, not by watching.
🥂 Complete Culinary Evening Out
This is not a class - this is an experience. From welcome drink to digital recipe list to take home.
🤝 Teamwork in the Kitchen
Divide tasks, communicate, support each other - and watch you as a team put down a Michelin-level dinner. Much more fun (and tasty!) than a standard teambuilding activity.
🍷 Wine pairing Discovery
Discover how wine takes the flavours of your dishes to the next level. Available in three levels, just like our private dining experience.
🏠 Professional Setting
Cook in a full-size kitchen with 3 ovens, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, a plate washer and induction hobs. Everything you need to excel.

👥 Colleagues & Team Building
The perfect company outing that combines cooperation, getting to know each other better and enjoying a great evening. You work in teams on complex dishes - communication, division of tasks and together producing a result you can be proud of. Much more effective (and tastier!) than a standard team day.
