NEW YORK, N.Y. – From today until October 26 2015, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will be serving meals created by the leading three-star Dutch chef Jonnie Boer aboard its World Business Class on flights departing from Amsterdam.
“KLM is pleased to be cooperating again with Jonnie Boer,” said Paul Elich, Executive Vice President KLM Inflight Services. “Our World Business Class passengers greatly appreciated the meals he created in 2010 and we’re certain they’ll enjoy the three brilliant menus that Jonnie has developed for the upcoming nine months.”
Jonnie and Thérèse Boer said, “We are honored to be collaborating with KLM in this exceptional manner. By working together with the KLM team, we aim to provide passengers an amazing culinary experience of the highest level.”
KLM continually invests in its inflight products. For example, the World Business Class cabin interior was completely revitalized across the Boeing 747 fleet. Likewise, the Boeing 777-200 fleet is currently being updated with a new cabin interior in both World Business Class and Economy Class. In addition, KLM has been serving World Business Class meals created by leading Dutch chefs for several years now. KLM continues to invest in its service on board by working with leading chefs and sommeliers. Past menus have been created by Sergio Herman, Richard Ekkebus, Mario Ridder and Richard van Oostenbrugge.]
Together with his wife Thérèse, Jonnie Boer owns Restaurant De Librije in Zwolle, a three-star restaurant that is ranked amongst the world’s top 50. Thérèse Boer is the restaurant’s hostess and sommelier. In addition to the restaurant, Jonnie and Thérèse also own the Librije’s Shop, Librije’s Hotel and Librije’s Atelier cookery and wine academy.
