We’re a couple of days away from presenting the apps at our client tasting for our 4/2 event. Now that we’ve nailed down the menu we’re into investigating plating techniques. Below are a few interesting plates we ran across. Ubuntu Ubuntu Noma Noma Noma Luce
Hits from Heavy on the Hog
Hopefully everyone had a nice weekend. The Wooden Table spent it waist deep in some of the craziest powder that
Picks from poisson!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words and sometimes I think I’m too verbose. So, here are a few shots from our recent pescetarian meal (okay so I just couldn’t resist captioning each shot with a few words anyways). Enjoy! We froze some out of season, yes out of season tomatoes (for the mild tartness), pureed them and …
Daily Inspiration
Being a graphic designer, I’m prone to deadline induced bouts of creative block. A lot of great design blogs run posts that are basically lists of cool things that their contributors have run across, that other designers might be able to draw inspiration from. Since our next 5 course isn’t until 4/17 (yup, we’re available for sunday suppers), I’ve been …
Pound For Pound
The name “Pound Cake” is derived from the fact that the original pound cake recipe called for 1 lb each of butter, sugar, eggs, and flour. When many people couldn’t read, the simple 1:1:1:1 proportions (and pneumonic friendly name) made it simple to remember the recipe. I’ve definitely eaten more than my fair share of pound cakes and even tried …
Bringing good food to the masses
(not figuratively)
We’ve been lucky enough to be given the opportunity to take a miniaturized version of The Wooden Table on the road! A friend of The Wooden Table is celebrating his 3rd decade in very sophisticated 30 year-old fashion, with good food. It’ll be a vegetarian affair and we want to put the same amount of thought and technique into these …
Foodies vs. Hipsters
I do not like being labeled a “foodie”. I don’t really like to be labeled anything but I dislike it as much, if not more, than being called a “hipster”. Although (waaay back when) I’ve hung out at some notorious Hollywood haunts where some notorious DJs spun notorious anthems, I am far from being a hipster, as my disturbingly hip …
Sláinte! St. Patrick’s Day,
not just about green beer.
St. Patty’s is also about pinches and copious amounts of Guinness and Jameson but that’s not what I’m going to talk about today. We’re here to take a closer look at what’s considered, by most, to be the standard fare of St. Patrick’s Day, corned beef and cabbage. A lot of the best foods came about out of necessity (think …
Geeking Out On Uni
Fans of The Wooden Table will have noticed that we love uni. We L-O-V-E uni. But really, what’s not to love? The taste of the deep sea, the clean, sweet, buttery urchin goodness has a firm grip on our appetites. The best uni comes from the roe that’s harvested from the red sea urchin. They are typically found in 30-90ft …
Heavy on the Hog
Pork fat runs deep in my veins (wait for it) . . . literally (cue the laugh track).
