Educational Theme Dinner – 13 April

On Monday 13 April, Invitez will once again host an Educational Theme Dinner.

During this dinner, you will be inspired by the theme ‘Nature-inclusive en regenerative’

Our guest speaker, Kees Boender, will take us into the world of seaweed and will talk about Your Well – The Seaweed Company, the largest supplier of food, personal care and health products based on European and organic seaweed.

The dinner will be prepared and served by our chef René van Rijswijk together with our students, using fresh surplus ingredients. The dishes are not only full of flavour, but are also beautifully presented.

You are warmly invited to join us on 13 April. The dinner will take place in our restaurant Orchard, located at Koningin Marialaan 9 in The Hague. It will begin at 5.30 pm and is expected to conclude around 8.00 pm. Guests are welcome from 5.00 pm onwards. The cost is €17.50 per person, including still and sparkling water, followed by coffee and tea. Other drinks are at your own expense.

Reservations can be made via the Orchard page on The Fork.

Please note: A full series of Educational Theme Dinners is scheduled for the remainder of the academic year, each with its own theme:

11/05 – Social & Healthy
18/05 – The Global Food System
01/06 – Our Food
08/06 – Grand Finale

Reservations for these themed dinners can also already be made via The Fork.

At the International Hotel and Management School and the School for Hospitality & Facility Services of ROC Mondriaan, where the chefs of the future are trained, sustainable food plays a central role. In our theory lessons, students gain knowledge about what sustainable, fair and healthy food entails — from farm to fork — taking into account sustainable cultivation and a fair income for producers. In practical lessons in our kitchens and restaurants, students put this knowledge into action. This includes learning to cook vegetarian dishes using local, seasonal and organic produce, working with surplus ingredients and experimenting with fermentation.

The Educational Theme Dinner is one such practical lesson. By attending, you contribute directly to this learning experience. By providing students with these experiences during their training, we hope that these future chefs and hospitality professionals will make sustainable choices that help keep our planet healthy.

We very much hope to welcome you.

Kind regards,
Team E.D.
