Daniel Munter

is the cook for ArtMil's Summer Camp. He has an uncanny knack for turning ArtMill's organic, locally-grown produce into meals so delicious that even the kids don't realize how healthy they are. He's trained as a philosopher and in past lives has been a video editor, bus tour guide, web developer, English teacher and waiter. When he's not zipping through the streets of his native New York on a bike, he's dreaming of his home away from home in the Czech lands.

Martina Kubátová
