Culinary Art guest chef's for 2007
<pre>Featuring more than 40 celebrated chefs, wine experts and cookbook authors, Holland America Line offers guests a culinary arts enrichment program unparalleled in the cruise industry. Trendsetters such as Marcus Samuelsson, executive chef and owner of New York's perennial favorite, Aquavit; hotspot holders Alex Guarnaschelli of Butter in New York and Michael Bloise of WISH, Miami; and shaking things up, master mixologists Julie Reiner, of New York's Flatiron Lounge and Ryan Magarian of Seattle's Liquid Kitchen, are several of the 2007 guests headlining Holland America's onboard Culinary Arts Center presented by Food & Wine magazine.
Holland America Line launched its innovative culinary program in 2005 with the installation of state-of-the-art Culinary Arts Centers aboard each of its 13 premium cruise ships offering culinary demonstrations, tastings and hands-on cooking classes aboard every sailing. The line then took the concept further by partnering with Food & Wine magazine to provide guests on select Holland America Line cruises an opportunity to experience demonstrations and seminars conducted by culinary experts covered in the magazine such as 2000 "Best New Chef" winner Andrew Carmellini of New York's hip Italian restaurant, A Voce, who is scheduled to sail aboard the ms Rotterdam in June. Another rising star is Jason Wilson, executive chef of Crush in Seattle, who was declared one of 2006's Top Ten New Chefs in North America by Food & Wine and is sailing on the ms Oosterdam in January.

In addition to partnering with Food & Wine to secure top experts, Holland America showcases its own culinary stars during each of more than 500 annual cruises with demonstrations, tastings and hands-on cooking classes given by the ships' executive chefs and culinary staff. Plus, with the release of the premium line's new cookbook, A Taste of Excellence, guests can learn preparation techniques for some of Holland America's most delectable dishes and lavish libations as part of the Culinary Arts Center experience.
A state-of-the-art "show kitchen at sea," the Culinary Arts Centers resemble the elaborate show kitchens used by celebrity chefs on television cooking programs. Each facility features a theater-style venue, with two large plasma video screens to display overhead and close-up video views of food preparation, and a large cooking display counter where guests can learn from the masters. Culinary demonstrations also are filmed and aired on in-stateroom televisions. Holland America Line invested more than $13 million to create and install the Culinary Arts Center facilities on each of its ships as part of a $225 million Signature of Excellence initiative.
