to play with their food and have fun by making a Food Face to
celebrate #NationalFoodFacesDay.
SEATTLE, April 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- When was the last
time you played with your food? If you're ready to get creative in
the kitchen, join Holland America Line April
6 to celebrate the first annual National Food Faces Day.
Designated in the National Day Archives, the day commemorates the
culinary pop art created by the brand's Master Chef Rudi Sodamin, whose birthday is April 6.
Join Holland America Line April 6 to
celebrate the first annual National Food Faces Day.
Holland America Line is
encouraging fans to get playful and share their creations on social
media using #NationalFoodFacesDay to spread the joy.
"We have seen the way Food Faces resonates with people, showing
us that Rudi's passion for bringing happiness through food can
transcend beyond our guests to fans everywhere," said Gus Antorcha, president of Holland America Line.
"Designating April 6 National Food
Faces Day not only honors Rudi's creativity when it comes to food
and art, but it also shows everyone that Holland America Line
continues to be an innovator in unique ways."
Sodamin began designing and photographing his Food Faces several
years ago on a whim in a shipboard galley to entertain team
members. In 2018 he released the art-table book, "Food Faces,"
featuring more than 150 vibrant images of his edible cast of
characters. His artistic inspiration comes from culinary
ingredients and human expression, and he created each personality
from food items including vegetables, fruit, meats, fish, grains
and sweets.
"When I saw how my Food Faces inspired people and made them
smile, I knew that this art was capable of something special. I
want to spread that joy through these works of art created with
food," said Sodamin. "Food Faces can be made with anything edible,
and I encourage everyone to have fun, be creative and let go while
making culinary art.
"A simple fruit plate presented as a cheerful face at breakfast
is a great way to start your day with a smile," added Sodamin. "I'm
excited to have an official day to celebrate my passion for Food
Faces with everyone around the world."
On board Holland America Line ships, guests who dine at
award-winning Rudi's Sel de Mer
upscale seafood restaurant or pop-up can enjoy his dynamic Food
Faces on exclusive limited-edition plate chargers made by
Bernardaud, the leading French manufacturer of Limoges porcelain. Each plate charger features
a different image from the "Food Faces" book, creating a table
setting that's a conversation starter.
Sodamin's "Food Faces" coffee table book was published by
Welcome Books, an imprint of Rizzoli, and is available for purchase
at bookstores nationwide and online.
Bernardaud plate charger sets and the "Food Faces" book also can
be purchased on board Holland America Line ships.
