Pascal's culinary journey / executive resumé

chef 1 1
shell

At a young age, I already knew what I wanted to do. While working at Hotel Kurhaus in Scheveningen, I knew for sure: to reach the top in the culinary world!

 

I completed my training with chef Hans Snijders of Chateau Neercanne* after which I started working at:

 

  • Au Coin des Bon Enfants (Maastricht)*
  • Krasnapolsky Hotel (Amsterdam)
  • Scholteshof** in Belgium
  • Restaurant Excelsior* in Amsterdam
  • At La Rive** in the Amstel Hotel, Chef Robert Kranenborg gave me confidence and I worked as sous chef from 1998 to 2003.

The next step, of course, was an environment where I could sway the scepter myself. At Restaurant Vermeer in Amsterdam, I started as Executive Chef. Within two years, Michelin rewarded me and my team with 2 stars.

 

During that period I also wrote my first cookbook and was inaugurated as Master Chef.

 

In addition to my books Proeven met Pascal (2001) , Pascal Jalhay proeft (2010) and the successful Baru Belanda (2019), Wereldse smaakmakers (2021) of my hand is now in bookstores

In the years that followed, I developed special dishes at Marfo, as well as concepts and food experiences for airlines. These were years in which I established special partnerships and, of course, created wonderful culinary concepts for airlines, food service, offshore, and remote locations.

I traveled all over the world for various airlines, hospitals, copper and tin mines, oil rigs, shipping companies, universities, and ministries to learn how to cook new dishes, taste them, and develop them further according to the wishes of my “guests.”


In recent years, I have been involved in various projects, such as the start-up of Hotel 27 on Dam Square and its in-house restaurant Bougainville*, and the founding of the prestigious Leading Hotels of the World, Van Oys Maastricht Retreat. With restaurant MAES and CREATE**.
