Wittenberg Welcomes… Tjitze Van Der Dam

This week on Wittenberg Welcomes… we have some culinary delight for you in the shape of award winning chef and culinary coach Tjitze Van Der Dam ().

Since moving to Amsterdam he has held positions at Ron Blaauw Restaurant, Friends of Jacob, INK Hotel, QO and the Waldorf Astoria; working his way up to executive sous chef and leading the kitchen teams.

Now working as a private chef, Tjitze caters for breakfast, lunch or dinner parties for two to 2000 people, explaining all of the dishes he presents and answering any questions guests have.

Outside of the kitchen, Tjitze organises culinary events connecting people within the industry, including 24H Chefs (http://ow.ly/HKkH50ECHSc) – an event that brought 24 Michelin Star chefs together to cook for 24hours to raise money for charity.

Describing himself as out of the box, enthusiastic and full of energy, his down to earth views have led him to really have a passion for Dutch classic cuisine, so much so that he has written the Hollandse Klassiekers AnnoNu (http://ow.ly/nlZk50ECHSe) cookbook.

Checking in on Sunday, Tjitze will be showcasing his culinary skills and creating some wonderful dishes for you to see and will even be getting his daughter involved in the show. The question is whether she will want to bake cookies or make dinner 😉.

So please give a huge Wittenberg welcome to Tjitze Van Der Dam and check out our latest blog for more information (http://ow.ly/Bmoy50ECHSd).

His classical oil paintings have been exhibited at the Rijksmuseum and Frans Halssmuseum and with his latest series of paintings he has exhibited at multiple international art fairs, including Basel, New York, and San Fransisco.

Her goal is to use design and education to make plant ownership more sustainable and plant owners more confident, with a focus on urban environments in metropolitan cities across the world.

Monai’s work is helping to inspire the people of Amsterdam to bring more plants into their lives and ensure they are choosing the best plants for their home, as well as giving them the tools to care for their plants in the right manner. She’s a great believer in the power of plants, reducing stress and increasing productivity.

In 2020 Monai opened Planthood (http://ow.ly/jnrG50Egv6X), a service-based retail space in Amsterdam selling plants, plant care products. It’s a space dedicated to helping people find the right plants for them, as well as acting as a venue for her Plantmom workshops, of which there’s a ever-growing community. Her regular workshops include meditation, yoga and nutrition on top of her plant care work. Members of the Planthood community receive weekly discounts, online consultations, and personal plant profiles.
