Create a Golden Goose and Eat It, Too----Or Not....

Esslack Food Finish, originally developed for pastry chefs, now can be yours. (Maybe.)

"Esslack was developed together with a small food factory, which supplies high-quality fine pastry shops with food coloring. In a new application in the can, the different ways in the kitchen brings. For example, a chrome trout. Or gold-plated asparagus tips."

Pumpkin Carving: Always Wanted to be a Surgeon?

So take a gander at this sequence from our friends at The Guardian. More than you ever wanted to know, maybe. 

All Cereals Are Not Created Equal...

Artist Ron English likes to mess with folks. His "cereals" carry varying messages about the sugary, artificially enhanced, rubbishy products he satirizes--and he actually places them in a supermarket--in this case, Ralph's, Venice Beach, CA.( Take a close look.)

Apparently if you find one of his creations and return it to him, he will sign it for you. 

More about Ron English here.

Food Photography With An Edge

Like this blog. Like the style, the crisp look, the approach. Good stuff. Food Thru A Lens.

Visualizing Your Food.....

New York designer Lauren Manning explored what she ate during a two year project, and ended up displaying same in 40 different ways. Pictured above? Food by color.

A Swiss website, Data Visualization, has more info on the project, though I still have no clue where this was presented.

One of Lauren's blogs is The Design Zoo.

Vegging at the Table

Speaking of dining tables, grow your own plants at the base of your table, then pluck veggies from them for dinner. Hmmm...Where's the light? Where's the adequate amount of soil? Apparently they tried this out with tomatoes, as well as peas....

The idea is cute, but clearly needs work. It has been on display as part of London Design Week 2011.

The concept is from JAILmake.

Own "The Last Supper," NM-Style

The Hispanic Arts Building at the New Mexico State Fair is not a favorite, usually, tilting way too far towards dancing skulls, and bleeding martyrs, but this time, the largest piece on display caught my attention.

Now-- many people do not linger on the "supper" aspect of TLS, but we foodies do. And here is a hardcarved table, with painted chairs for each participant, commemorating that breaking of bread. It's the work of three members of one family, Robert, Desmond and Roberto Gonzales, the painting employs natural pigments, and the price tag is $35,000.

 

 

Pumpkin Carving Reimagined in Leipzig

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The European Vegetable Carving Competition just held in Leipzig, Germany, had room for fruit carvers as well.

According to the Times of Malta, "Each participant is provided with a basket containing melons, giant papayas, kohlrabi, cucumbers, radishes, Chinese cabbages and carrots. Participants may bring their own pumpkin, too. 

The art of vegetable carving originated in China but has acquired numerous followers in Europe in recent years."

Mona Cannot Lisa Nutella Alone....

 Who knew that there was a World Nutella Day?  But yes. It's coming up this winter, but I'm not telling when. Keep your hands off the stuff until then. Mona clearly is a fan, bigtime. This particular intersection of food and culture delights me, gotta say.
