I am also looking forward to collaborating with Kees Raat of Metropolitan Deli — here is a shot of our cheese and chocolate pairing that featured the legendary Betty Koster of Fromagerie l’Amuse.

The cheese tasting is going to be a real difficult concept to improve on, but Kees and I are working on it!

I am looking forward to being there … and working with Dennis van Essen and HighFive to do a tasting/pairing event in Amsterdam in the days leading up to the OCE.
