The Elements of Eating
Design and food: two subjects that inspire an almost religious fervour, especially when the home kitchen has become the immersive, experiential platform where food creation, dining and design harmoniously meld to create an ideal multi-sensory experience.
A Material Menu: Designs for the Culinary Aesthetic is an exploration of the connections between materials, aesthetics and design, including eight conceptual recipes based on the four elements of earth, air, fire and ice.
"It's about all of the senses coming into play: The sonic snap of a crisp pancake; the visual delight of slicing into a blackened cake & discovering its pure, white heart; teasing the taste buds with alternating sweet & salt flavours; the fluffy, sticky texture of meringue – each recipe is a story for the body & the soul," - Francesca Sarti, Head of Italian food design studio Arabeschi di Latte.
