Hungry for Design – Dick Middelweerd & Lotte de Raadt

By 08-11-2020

What happens when the worlds of design and gastronomy come together? In the six-part series Hungry for Design, Eindhoven’s top chefs are linked to local designers, resulting in special collaborations, common ground when it comes to the creative process, and, of course, great food.

New video series
In the six-part series ‘Hungry for Design’ top chefs are linked to local designers, in which the chefs are challenged to develop a dish based on the work of the designer. Among the chefs are well-known names such as Dick Middelweerd, Naresh Ramdjas, and Cas Pikaar. The participating designers are all young, talented designers with different backgrounds: from a social designer to an architect and from a sound designer to a material researcher. Bringing the different disciplines together results in special collaborations, common ground when it comes to the creative process, and, of course, great food.

The episodes are hosted by moderator and food designer Annelies Hermsen. As the daughter of Michelin chef Toine Hermsen and Design Academy Eindhoven alumni, Annelies understands the worlds of both chefs and designers.

Episode 2: Dick Middelweerd & Lotte de Raadt
Dick Middelweerd is head chef and owner of two-star restaurant De Treeswijkhoeve in Waalre. After studying in Utrecht and completing military service, he obtained the title SVH Meesterkok in 1990. The kitchen of Middelweerd can be described as classic on a traditional basis with many local products and various international influences.
