De Smaak van de Ziel plot
When Erik van Loo, the current chef and owner of restaurant Parkheuvel in Rotterdam, thinks of potatoes, he always thinks of his father's potato soup, a butcher from Limburg. He actually makes that soup himself now. He just needs to finish it a little more refined to be able to serve it in Parkheuvel. Cees Helder, the chef who was the first Dutchman to receive a third Michelin star, was his predecessor. Helder did the business over when he was at his peak and remembers with great fondness the last piece of veal he prepared there. The third key figure in this documentary about cooking as art and taste and deeply felt emotion is master taster Paul van Craenenbroeck, on whose judgment the award of a Michelin star depended.
