‘De Aytems van inspiratie’ (The Aytems of inspiration) is a five-sense-stimulating book about Chef, Ayt Erdogan from restaurant El Qatarijne in Utrecht. His kitchen is described as an exciting crossover between East and West, with a star role for the Ottoman-Mesopotamian cuisine.
Ayt knows his classics, but he prefers a contemporary approach in which a unique dynamism is given to flavour. In this book, the enthusiastic chef tells about his sources of inspiration, the quest for his culinary identity and his future plans. But the focus is on his creations: 40 stunning dishes with a significant signature of the chef.
With a contribution of well-known people from the culinary world, including Jan de Wit (Le Restaurant), Alain Caron (Café Caron), Noël Vanwittenbergh (Ciel Bleu) and Jerry Overeem (Bronckhorst).
