Although not quite mainstream, food-art is one of the most intimate artistic mediums because the audience literally digests the artwork. Each dinner of this 5-part series is prepared by a different Food-artist. Throughout the series, guests will be confronted with a wide range of concepts, cooking styles and presentation methods. Because of very limited seating (26 persons per dinner), those who wish to attend are requested to reserve a place.
