Soon we will welcome our second guest chef: Thomas Depuydt. Thomas has been active in the hospitality and food world for years. His journey has taken him through many different kitchens and concepts, including ENTR, Pycke Zot, Foodsie, and Julocke. But his experience does not stop at the stove. He also worked in a butcher's shop and fishmonger, started his own croquette business Kroketje during the pandemic, and took to the road with a food truck.

These different worlds have created a clear passion for product knowledge. Knowing where something comes from, how to work with it, and especially how to let a good product shine. Today, Thomas continues that line at Het Hinkelspel, the Ghent cooperative cheese factory, where he works and is daily involved with artisanal cheese, hospitality, and customers.

His kitchen is accessible and product-focused: good ingredients, robust flavours, generous dishes, and occasionally a quirky twist. No technique for the sake of technique, but cooking from the product and creating dishes that you really crave.

For three days, Thomas will step away from Het Hinkelspel and once again stand behind the stove at NURA. A temporary menu where his journey, love for products, and cooking style come together.
