Culinary Encounters stepped into the kitchens of four up-and-coming chefs across Oslo, Paris, Berlin and Maastricht, examining how a new generation approaches food, kitchen culture and recipe development.
The series paired short documentary films with editorial interviews, reflecting on broader shifts in the culinary world through an intimate, home-based lens.
Each chef was filmed and interviewed in their own kitchen, with Siemens Home Appliances integrated naturally into the everyday rituals of preparation, plating and conversation.
A new generation, cooking on its own terms.
Alongside Culinary Encounters, we produced Siemens Home Stories: short documentaries filmed on location with cinematographer Shai Levy, including a portrait of Antwerp-based Veerle Wenes and a visit to architect Allan Spiegel's self-built home outside Stockholm.
An editorial film and interview series for Siemens Home Appliances, produced across four European cities.
Documentary-style kitchen portraits connecting the brand's products to the everyday practice of emerging culinary talent.
