Creative Chef is not so much about cooking and recipes, but more about creating an amazing eating experience. The author is the Creative Chef who turns every meal into a true session of wonder and excitement. And with this book you can become that creative chef as well.

The book is full of tips, ideas, and instructions for activities and presentation on and around the dinner table, with stories about scent, taste, music, art, presentation, interaction, ingredients,
activities, and magic to turn your dinner party into an amazing food experience.

Jasper Udink ten Cate Is a chef engaged with food design and with the development and realization of creative cook concepts. He is specialized in the optimization of an eating
experience by using information, interaction, marketing, association, and creative thinking. And he is engaged in even more facets of the cooking industry: innovation of a solar cooker, product design, planning events, advice, shoots, and writing of recopies and cooking books.

"This book unlocks the imagination when it comes to food presentation, serving, and tasting. Its recipes and staging methods swing back and forth between simplicity and more involved undertakings, between light accents to enhance a single meal, and full-blown events that hosts will need to manage like theater productions or gallery exhibitions. The reader can choose any path he wishes. Fortunately, with the journey that this read sets before you, all roads lead to an elevated gustatory experience like no other. Eating has never been so entertaining."

“The nice thing about this book is not so much the fact that Jasper explains how to turn a vinyl record into a serving bowl. Nor that he shares recipes or shows you how cheese looks like from the perspective of a mouse. What hopefully lingers is that you can add meaning and experience to a dish or a dinner. That you can add so much more to a dinner besides food and a nicely set table. That you can actually engage people in a story. We can make food more valuable and above all, more fun!”

“The book is an absolute book shelf beauty, from the inside and the outside and that is reason enough for me to be triggered. You might expect a cookbook from a chef, but this book is definitely not your regular cookbook. In this book the curiosity of Jasper is brought together in inspiring stories, recipes, tips and magical photography.”
