The kitchen is a place of creativity, but also of responsibility.
At KTCHN, sustainability is not a trend or a marketing concept. It is part of the way we approach our work every day.
Today, this commitment is recognised through the ShiftingPact® certification, a Belgian label that supports small and medium-sized businesses in their transition toward more sustainable and responsible business models.
A recognition that reflects a simple belief: the quality of an event is not only defined by what is served on the table, but also by the way it is produced.
The ShiftingPact® certification was created to help SMEs integrate sustainability into the core of their activities.
It evaluates companies across their entire organisation: environmental impact, social responsibility and governance.
In practice, the certification process involves a detailed analysis of the company’s business model, operational practices and future commitments.
These elements are then audited by an independent external body to ensure the credibility and rigour of the label.
Obtaining this certification therefore goes far beyond displaying a logo: it represents a real, measurable commitment that evolves over time.
Since its creation, KTCHN has built its cuisine around a few essential principles:
In the world of event catering, where volumes can be significant and logistical challenges complex, these choices require constant attention.
The ShiftingPact® certification recognises this ongoing effort: combining culinary excellence with responsible practices.
Organising an event involves much more than cooking.
Transport, equipment, energy consumption and waste management all contribute to the overall footprint of a project.
At KTCHN, this approach translates into:
The goal is not to claim perfection, but to move forward in a concrete, measurable and transparent way.
The ShiftingPact® certification is not a final step.
It is part of an ongoing process of improvement, with commitments and objectives that continue to evolve over time.
For KTCHN, this dynamic is essential.
It helps structure existing initiatives, develop new actions and continue improving our practices together with our teams, partners and clients.
Because sustainability cannot simply be declared: it is built day after day.
Ultimately, the transition toward sustainability also happens at the table.
Through the way ingredients are selected.
Through respect for the seasons.
Through dining formats that encourage sharing and connection.With the ShiftingPact® certification, KTCHN confirms a direction that has long been underway: offering a contemporary, generous and responsible cuisine capable of supporting today’s events while respecting the resources of tomorrow.
Organising a major trade fair or exhibition is a complex logistical challenge where every detail matters. In these high-traffic environments, catering is no longer just a service — it plays a key role in visitor satisfaction, flow management and the overall event experience.
Here is how KTCHN supports organisers of trade fairs, exhibitions and large-scale professional events with premium event catering in Brussels and across Belgium.
At a trade fair, time is the most valuable resource. An experienced trade fair catering partner must know how to manage the invisible factor: waiting time.
At KTCHN, we have developed a dedicated culinary and operational approach specifically designed for high-attendance exhibitions and professional events. Through optimised self-service concepts (free-flow) and premium grab-and-go outlets, we ensure smooth visitor circulation even during peak hours.
Reducing queues allows visitors to focus on what matters most: networking, meetings and business exchanges at the stands.
Managing catering for a large exhibition often involves coordinating multiple suppliers. KTCHN simplifies this process by acting as a single point of contact for all Food & Beverage operations.
Our turnkey event catering solution includes:
This centralised approach ensures operational efficiency, consistent quality and visual coherence, all essential for organisers of large-scale corporate events and international exhibitions.
Large-scale events often sacrifice quality for volume. KTCHN demonstrates that premium catering and operational efficiency can go hand in hand.
At leading events such as Art Brussels and Art Antwerp, we maintain our culinary standards as an artisanal caterer:
Whether you are organising a trade fair at Brussels Expo, an exhibition in Antwerp or a large international event, professional catering management is essential to the success of your project.
KTCHN goes beyond catering. We design and orchestrate tailored culinary experiences for trade fairs and exhibitions, ensuring operational excellence, visitor satisfaction and a hospitality experience that reflects the ambition of your event.
More and more clients are looking for plant-based options for their events.
Out of conviction, curiosity, a desire to eat more consciously, or simply to offer their guests a different kind of experience.
At KTCHN, plant-based cooking is neither a constraint nor a separate concept.
It is a natural way of cooking — rooted in the seasons, local ingredients, and the pleasure of gathering around the table.Yes, a 100% plant-based dinner with KTCHN is possible.
And above all, it is generous, creative, and genuinely delicious.
KTCHN’s kitchen always starts with the product.
Seasonal vegetables, sourced as locally as possible, handled with care and precision.
Slow-roasted winter carrots, melting leeks, mushrooms with layered textures, root vegetables elevated through thoughtful cooking and balanced seasoning.At KTCHN, plant-based cuisine follows the rhythm of the seasons.
This framework inspires every menu and ensures plates that feel vibrant, balanced, and full of flavour.
A plant-based dinner is not simply about removing meat from the plate.
It’s about rethinking the entire experience — textures, flavours, colours, and the rhythm of the meal.
At KTCHN, plant-based menus are designed with the same attention as any other dinner:
The result?
A table that brings people together, surprises them, and invites everyone to taste — without ever feeling like a compromise.
A 100% plant-based dinner with KTCHN can be adapted to a wide range of formats:
In every context, the KTCHN team supports clients in creating a menu that fits the event, the venue, and the expectations of the guests.
Everything is tailor-made, from the level of refinement to the style of service, always with the same attention to detail.
Choosing a plant-based menu is also a more responsible option.
But at KTCHN, this choice remains first and foremost culinary and human.
No moralising, no trend-driven storytelling.
Just thoughtful cooking, respect for the product and the seasons, and a focus on plant-based ingredients when they are at their best.
What makes the difference lies in the details:
the gestures in the kitchen, precise seasoning, perfectly controlled cooking, and the care given to every dish before it reaches the table.
A 100% plant-based dinner with KTCHN means:
and moments around the table that stay with you.
Yes, a 100% plant-based dinner with KTCHN is possible.
But more importantly, it is a celebration of flavour, product, and togetherness.
Because whether plant-based or not, KTCHN’s cuisine remains the same:
generous, contemporary, and deeply rooted in sharing.
In a world where people often eat alone at their screens, sharing a dish has become almost a defiant act. In corporate settings, this practice shakes up hierarchy, reinvents camaraderie, and turns the meal into a universal language.
In meeting rooms, we sit as formally distanced as in boardrooms—each with their plate, utensils, and personal space. Meals, meant to relax, can feel like extensions of hierarchy. Conversations remain polite, but genuine connection is rare.
Then come tables with a central shared dish. The reaction is instant: a blend of surprise and delight.
Who starts? Who serves whom? Gestures replace formalities swiftly. A shared spoon, tasting together, laughter over a light touch… It’s a quiet revolution: meals become dialogue, and dialogue becomes connection.
Sharing a dish is universal. Across cultures—from the Mediterranean to Asia, the Middle East to the Indian Ocean—togetherness is built through sharing. “Breaking bread” is more than metaphor; it’s a ritual that transcends eras and geographies. In business, that return to sharing is significant. As companies champion cross-functional cohesion and employee wellness, food sharing becomes more than a culinary trend—it’s a social strategy. Around one table, hierarchies blur, colleagues meet as people, and conversation flows naturally.
Say goodbye to rigid plated meals and hello to shareable portions—a meal becomes a collective event. Easy, warm, and inclusive cuisine that minimizes stress and waste while satisfying everyone—vegans, vegetarians, gluten-conscious diners, or meat lovers alike. Why settle for one dish when you can explore many flavors together?
Food sharing is an endless canvas for chefs. Every bite must offer the same experience to the table, turning each dish into a communal invitation. At KTCHN, a Brussels caterer whose culinary DNA lies in sharing, this is standard. Chef Laure Genonceaux—Belgian-Mauritian and crowned Be Cheffe 2024—crafts luminous cuisine inspired by her roots and local ingredients. Her dishes balance technical mastery with inventive freshness. Yet her greatest comfort food remains… her mother’s meatballs in tomato sauce. A reminder: simplicity and humility are the most powerful.
Contrary to assumptions, food sharing doesn’t complicate service—it streamlines it. More flexible, less structured, it adapts beautifully to guest needs. Guests enjoy a more satisfying experience; teams work more comfortably. It’s an elegant mix of efficiency, warmth, and quality.
Is it just a fad? Everything suggests otherwise. As younger generations enter the workforce, food norms evolve—less conventional, more shared, focused on experience. Food sharing fits right in. It’s not just about feeding teams; it’s about creating shared moments. In an age of isolation and screen dining, sharing a dish becomes a quiet act of connection.
Maybe this is food sharing’s greatest promise: restoring the table’s original purpose—to connect. Around it, titles fade, distances shrink, flavors become communal. We no longer eat just for ourselves, but with each other. Perhaps, at the heart of renewed camaraderie, lies a single dish placed in the center of the table.
Forget bland skewers and basic sausages — make way for a bold, refined, and irresistibly gourmet barbecue. This season, we’re falling for wood-fired cooking that flirts with fine dining. At KTCHN, the grill becomes a playground where confit vegetables, aged meats, and fragrant seafood come together for a feast as beautiful as it is delicious.
Craving a gourmet escape in the open air? Let us whisk you away to a new-generation BBQ, where flavour meets finesse.
Barbecue isn’t just about impromptu picnics with friends anymore. Today, it’s a full-on culinary experience where ingredients and plating are treated with the same care. At KTCHN, BBQ is seen as a true celebration of flavour.
The secret? Ultra-fresh produce, perfectly mastered cooking techniques, and bold flavour pairings that awaken the senses. Think wild garlic grilled asparagus, melt-in-your-mouth eggplant with tahini and pomegranate, grilled halloumi with avocado salsa… Veggies take center stage and elevate every plate.
As for meat and seafood, it’s all about character: Irish beef, spiced scampi, smoked Iberico pork… Far from your traditional barbecue, KTCHN brings that refined, gastronomic twist we can’t get enough of.
If you still think barbecues are all about meat, think again! Vegetables have that extra something when kissed by the flames — a hint of caramelisation, an irresistible smoky flavour… and just like that, the magic happens.
Our top picks?
Paired with punchy sauces like a fiery chimichurri or an ultra-fresh sauce vierge, these grilled veggies just might steal the spotlight from the meat!
You Can’t Talk BBQ Without Mentioning the Star of the Show: Perfectly Grilled, Top-Quality Meat
It’s impossible to talk about barbecue without giving the spotlight to the true star: beautifully sourced, perfectly cooked meat.
At KTCHN, we focus on exceptional cuts — Irish beef tomahawk, lamb rack with thyme and confit garlic, smoked Iberico pork… each bite is bold, tender, and bursting with flavour. And for those drawn to the sea, we’ve got plenty to love: herb-infused prawns, grilled octopus, or shellfish bathed in herb butter.
The Touch That Changes Everything? Precision cooking down to the degree, and subtle seasoning that lets the product speak for itself. All paired with fresh, colourful salads for a true explosion of flavour.
A great barbecue is all about the sides — and that includes what’s in your glass. A well-chosen natural wine can elevate those smoky, caramelised flavours to a whole new level.
At KTCHN, the barbecue becomes a moment of pure exception — where fire enhances flavour and every plate turns into a work of art. A culinary experience that blends indulgence, aesthetics, and high-quality ingredients — perfect for a private event or a stylish garden party.

On this International Women’s Rights Day, we celebrate the women who shape the world of event gastronomy. While cooking has historically been associated with women in private households, the professional restaurant industry has long been dominated by men. Today, things are changing, and we are proud to shine a light on the women who make our events extraordinary at KTCHN.
At KTCHN, we are fortunate to be guided by three inspiring talents:
Despina Antypa – A creative pastry chef, she transforms every dessert into an unforgettable sensory experience.
Marie-Victoire Reynders – A visionary manager, she orchestrates every detail with passion and precision.
Laure Genonceaux – A talented chef who elevates ingredients into true culinary masterpieces. Winner of the Be Cheffe competition in November 2024, she embodies excellence in event gastronomy.
Despite progress, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions and continue to face major challenges in the restaurant and event industry:
These numbers highlight that despite the incredible talent and expertise of female chefs, pastry chefs, and entrepreneurs, inequalities persist. However, many initiatives are emerging to recognize and promote female talent.
Fortunately, more and more movements and events aim to increase the visibility of women in the gastronomy and event industry:
Recognizing women’s contributions in the kitchen and event industry requires concrete actions:
At KTCHN, we are committed to valuing all expertise, regardless of gender. Talent knows no boundaries, and our events are proof of that!
We believe in an event gastronomy industry where everyone can thrive and express their art.
We encourage women to take their rightful place in the demanding world of event catering, proving every day that culinary excellence has no gender.
Today, and every day, we celebrate the women who inspire, create, and lead with passion.

Sustainability and romance can harmoniously intertwine! Explore our 2024 Trends Guide for an unforgettable eco-friendly wedding.
Traditionally festive, weddings can unfortunately be a source of excessive energy consumption, time, money, and carbon emissions. Choices such as single-use dresses, meals leading to waste, and unnecessary travel contribute to this ecological footprint. However, an emerging trend towards eco-responsible weddings is gaining momentum. Here is an overview of the latest trends transforming wedding celebrations into more environmentally-friendly events.
Opt for a menu highlighting local and seasonal ingredients, thereby reducing carbon footprint while offering an authentic culinary experience.” Seasonal menus support local producers and ensure the freshness of ingredients.
The eco-chic approach is gaining ground in decoration. Choices such as reusable items, recycled materials, and seasonal flowers create an elegant ambiance while minimizing environmental impact
Sustainable attire is increasingly in vogue, reflecting a commitment to sustainability without compromising style. Dresses and suits made from eco-friendly materials or by local designers are at the heart of this trend, and why not consider a second-hand designer dress?
Choose an eco-responsible site for celebrating your wedding. The choice of a single location for both the ceremony and reception also reduces travel and associated emissions.
When creating your wedding registry, consider including items from companies that support sustainable practices. Items made from recycled materials, ethically manufactured, or promoting a sustainable lifestyle are all possible options.
Responsible waste management is an integral part of eco-friendly weddings. Solutions such as biodegradable tableware, recycling, and waste reduction help minimize the environmental impact of the event.
When choosing your honeymoon destination, prioritize options closer to home or consider more sustainable modes of transportation than flying. Also look for accommodations committed to sustainable practices.
Organizing an eco-friendly wedding is a reflection of the values you want to convey. Remember that every little gesture makes a difference and it’s not necessary to be perfect in every aspect.
