Arctic Connection is a culinary project to be launched at the end of May. It is a co-production between executive chef Ben Hardeman from Le Meridien Hotel "Des Indes" and artist Ap Verheggen.
The International Polar Year of 2007 and 2008 will draw more attention towards the Arctic and her inhabitants. This project is an innovating collaboration between the Dutch artist Ap Verheggen and chef Ben Hardeman. It is built out of two components; the design of the tableware and the unique composition of the menu. Both are inspired by the recent Arctic situation. It has resulted in one of the leading culinary-art projects.
A new decoration plate will give publicity at the International Polar Year. The artwork on the decoration plate shows the outline of Antarctica in a black silhouette, surrounding by the glaciers of the North Pole slowly melting into the black silhouette.
Ben Hardeman will serve his culinary creations on this exclusive decoration plate during the International Polar Year. The dishes served will be prepared with energy-friendly ingredients.
The recipes will be freely available on the web from the end of May.
Further information can be found on the Taste of Art, Des Indes, and Positive NRG websites.
