STARS, FOOD & ART WORLDWIDE
After three years of this very successful gastronomic event in Amsterdam, Sofitel headquarters in Paris decided to launch Stars, Food & Art worldwide.
Philosophy of Stars, Food & Art
Surrounded by l'art de vivre, (the art of living) the idea was born in 2007 to organise an event that would be unique and memorable. A moment where people could truly enjoy an exceptional experience, together in good company, sharing excellent food, wine and culture and held in the wonderful legend and luxury Sofitel hotel in Amsterdam.
Great chefs , (Tamers of ranges) crowned with Michelin stars, are artists in gastronomy. They excel in their field like other famous artists. You travel with them on a journey of discovery of flavours. Their passion and soul are the secrets that you will discover in their culinary presentation !
But gastronomy offers more. Gastronomy means conviviality in a world where every moment matters. It brings people and cultures closer together.
It also offers a crucible for creativity, understanding and co-operation. Last but not least, gastronomy and other art expressions reinforce and inspire each other.
The initiative was taken by Lise Goeman Borgesius, author and culinary journalist and the management of Sofitel Amsterdam The Grand. Their common goal was to combine know-how, creativity and facilities to organise an event where culture, food, wine and art are united.
