Rhubarb is a plant from the knotweed family. These red stems have been sought for more than 5000 years for its medicinal purposes or processed into compote and used for desserts. Mister Kitchen and distillery Herman Jansen have captured the unique taste and fluorescent color in a bottle: ‘Rabarcello’. The sour, sweet and bitter taste are in perfect composition and without any additives a subtle 18% alcohol. Rabarcello can be served pure with some ice next to a fitting course, but also for cocktails.
Syntens Innovatiecentrum organizes the ‘Taste of the Netherlands’ for the sixth time in a row. It’s an annual election of the best product of Dutch origin.

Drinking a glass of Duvel beer and get a two years ripened L’etivaz or Comté Fort Saint-Antoine cheese served with it.. The provocative character and the bitterness of beer fits well with cheese, and it is something different than a wine-cheese combination. Brewery Duvel Moortgat organizes master classes of cheese and beer tastings in cooperation with cheese specialists Michel and Frederic van Tricht. For each type of beer you can find a suitable cheese and vice versa. The cheers sessions start with a fragile cheese and a light beer and end with a strong cheese and beer. Combinations are for example Liefmans Cuvée Brut with a blue cheese or La Chouffe blond with Munster Fermier cheese, a hard cheese with a red crust.

June 2010, we spotted Food Hub, an online sales system for local products. Producers tell online what is salable of their harvest and restaurateurs / retailers know where fresh local products are for sale. An initiative that has also been launched by other parties. Food Hub is active in the West of the USA (started from Portland) and we recently spotted Foodem that started from Baltimore (Maryland) with their B2B platform for food suppliers (farms, specialty food producers and distributors) and food buyers (hotels, connects restaurants schools, hospitals, etc.). The latter have recently launched a new version of their platform. Foodem 2.0 has added price transparency, more efficient processes and increased possibilities for analytical reports. The websites are becoming more professional. In the article of 2010, we were already wondering who will start a similar website in the Netherlands and we actually still do! The film above by Food Hub gives a clear idea about the impact for buyers and sellers.
Create a special vibrant atmosphere in a hotel room with the ‘Forms of nature’ light. This light was developed by Hilden & Diaz and inspired by Ernst Haeckel’s (1834-1919). This creation is elegant and it look like it is made of tree branches. When the light is turned on, you will find yourself in the middle of a forest. The shadows are cast on the walls in the form of branches and trees. An interesting way to bring light into a hotel room.
Finding a cheap hotel is not always easy, but with the suitcase ‘Hotello’ you can easily set up your own hotel room or workplace anywhere. The suitcase on wheels does not immediately look like a bedroom, but when you unpack the suitcase you transform a empty building in a hotel room. This flexible room can be placed in just any empty space. The suitcase contains a bed, desk with chair and a storage. The ‘Hotello’ is developed by Roberto de Luca and Antonio Scarponi for the Swiss company Daskonzept. The big question is who is going to facilitate space to unpack this ‘suitcase’.
