00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.680
With every footstep in our lives,
we leave an imprint for future generations.

00:00:10.960 --> 00:00:13.440
Every dish has a certain impact.

00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:17.760
In everything I do, I want to innovate

00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:21.640
and inspire people with the
versatility of plant-based cuisine.

00:00:22.120 --> 00:00:25.880
Gastronomy is my language to create awareness.

00:00:26.520 --> 00:00:29.800
This goes beyond me as a person,
it is my mission and passion,

00:00:29.800 --> 00:00:33.080
but at the same time it
feels very organic.

00:00:33.480 --> 00:00:37.320
Outside the kitchen, I also think it’s
important to make sustainable choices.

00:00:37.720 --> 00:00:40.640
Electric driving is one
of them.

00:00:41.440 --> 00:00:46.280
Polestar and I share the same vision when
it comes to innovation and sustainability.

00:00:47.440 --> 00:00:50.440
We can’t stick with past habits

00:00:50.440 --> 00:00:53.280
and make only minuscule adjustments.

00:00:53.480 --> 00:00:56.000
We must dare to change
course.

00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:01.120
I think it is important to proactively
help build a sustainable future.

00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:06.040
The solutions are there, we just have to
want to see and apply them.

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:11.360
As a young chef, I quickly started asking myself,
“Where do my products come from?

00:01:11.360 --> 00:01:14.200
What is their effect on
ourselves and the planet?”

00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:17.680
These questions have led me to
become the chef I am today.

00:01:20.640 --> 00:01:25.320
I strive to keep the ecological impact
of our cuisine as low as possible.

00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:28.600
This starts with the choice
of ingredients.

00:01:28.600 --> 00:01:33.600
We work 80% with vegetables and
herbs sourced from local producers.

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:38.680
We regularly go into nature
in search of wild plants

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:42.400
or collect seaweed at the Eastern Scheldt.

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:49.520
At Amaranth, I create a stage to elevate
these products to a higher level

00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.960
by experimenting with
flavors, techniques, texures….

00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:57.920
It is constantly looking for ways to do
something better with less impact.
