The Buijtenkitchen, a mobile kitchen traveling in the outskirts of Rhoon is based on the old bakeryhouses where the wood stove is the base of the kitchen. Cook Pepijn Schmeink of Restaurant Eendracht in Rotterdam has been approached because of his expertise of using a wood oven as a base for his restaurant.
