Step into your
potential

After more than 27 years of navigating the creative landscape—teaching in classrooms, mentoring in private settings, and shaping ideas like dough in curious hands—I’ve decided it’s time to open the doors wider. To make the knowledge I’ve gathered more accessible, more shareable, more alive.

It started with the Food and Design online courses—carefully crafted programs that let you stir your creativity from anywhere in the world. Now, those courses have found a physical home too. You can get your training live, in person, and on site at the Food Design Playground in Dordrecht—a space where ideas ferment, rituals are born, and imagination is plated.

Online, you can dive into the Food and Design Dive, explore further with the Advanced Dive, or spend summer crafting your own conceptual dinner in the Summer School.

Offline, you’re invited to a 4-day retreat—an immersive experience where you’ll shape your own conceptual dinner—or take a one-day Deep Dive and design a personal morning ritual to nourish your days.

If 4 days are too much, we also offer one day food design immersions. See the dates here.

At the core of all this is a simple wish: to help shape a more sensitive, meaningful world.

What excites me most is watching the ripple effect: people around the globe using creative thinking with food as their medium. They enrich their local communities, build unexpected businesses, and feed new ways of relating—with joy, depth, and often a little rebellion.

By supporting them—and also non-food creatives—with tools for creative resilience, the circle completes itself. What we put on the table changes what’s possible in the world.
