For my parents’ 80th birthday, we booked a workshop with Chef Aaron Auping. He completely surprised us with his workshop. We have quite a bit of cooking experience, but we all gained many new ideas. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere that he and his sous-chef brought was wonderfully relaxed. Thank you, Aaron. We really enjoyed it.

Aaron is niet alleen een chef, hij is een gastheer en een planner. Hij heeft ons onbeschrijfelijk goed geholpen ons feest voor 60 mensen perfect te laten verlopen. Hij heeft overal bijgedragen waar mogelijk met de voorbereidingen en tijdens de middag-avond zelf. Het eten was perfect, iedereen heeft lekker gegeten en hij heeft netjes opgeruimd. Daarnaast is Aaron een hele aardige jongeman en zeer prettig om mee te communiceren en werken. Als ik meer sterren zou kunnen geven dan zou ik het doen.

We hadden voor een klein gezelschap gekozen voor een frans menu met zowel vis als vlees. De coquilles waren fantastisch met de combinatie met zacht fruit. We waren verrast door de heerlijke groententaart als tussengerecht en de hele verse groenten uit Dronten bij het vlees. Het hele menu was evenwichtig en top bereid. We bevelen Aaron zeer aan om een persoonlijk diner te verzorgen!
