From 25 October 2015, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines begins serving meals by the Dutch three-star chef, Jacob Jan Boerma, in World Business Class on flights out of Amsterdam. Boerma is the first chef to enrich the KLM kitchen for a whole year.
KLM has been serving meals by leading Dutch chefs in World Business Class for many years. By working with top chefs, KLM continues its promotion of the culinary world on board. The tableware is designed by Dutch designer Marcel Wanders, which perfectly matches KLM’s “International Dutch” product vision. Past meals were designed by Cees Helder, Margot Janse, Sergio Herman, Richard Ekkebus, Mario Ridder, Richard van Oostenbrugge and Jonnie Boer.
Jacob Jan has compiled four different menus, all of which seamlessly match the quality of KLM.
Jacob Jan Boerma and Kim Veldman opened restaurant De Leest in Vaassen in 2002. The restaurant received its first Michelin Star in 2003, its second in 2007 and, in 2014, the ultimate achievement, its third Michelin Star. De Leest is among the leaders of Dutch gastronomy. The cuisine is French with cosmopolitan influences. Fresh elements are prominent and the restaurant stands out for its use of local, often organic produce. The restaurant has now attracted international fame. Jacob Jan will open his own restaurant at Amsterdam’s newly renovated Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky in 2016.
