Bob Truitt’s Spoonful Story
Bob Truitt is all about balance. He learned this early on in his career and has carried it as a central tenet of his cooking over the years. Truitt has worked alongside some of the world’s best known chefs, ultimately becoming a pastry chef leading dozens of cooks and sous chefs at multiple restaurants. “What excites me about cooking is the balance; the spectrum of what you have to work with and how that plays out when you’re plating a dish — having your salty, sweet, sour and bitter elements that really bring everything together.”
This focus on balance comes through in his Spoonful. Truitt plated a burning rosemary bouquet alongside his favorite (perfectly balanced) spoon. “I learned from Chef Morimoto to see the open spaces on a plate and put things in place for a reason. It all comes back to balance.”
Ingredients: Burning rosemary, roasted hazelnuts, whipped cream, chocolate, candied lemon peels and meringue.
What are the “Spoonfuls of Inspiration”
Among chefs there is one universal truth: each has a favorite spoon. Whether wooden, metal, porcelain, plastic, or bone, chefs use this indispensable tool to measure, stir, flip, fold, divide, carry, plate, and – most importantly – to taste. Most chefs will tell you that their favorite spoon is an extension of themselves, an appendage without which they would be hard-pressed to survive.
Brent Herrig’s Spoonfuls of Inspiration series captures the unique emotional connection between chef and spoon. Created in collaboration with the chef, these abstract portraits showcase their favorite spoon alongside the ingredients and elements that inspire them. Here you’ll find a selection of Spoonfuls of Inspiration representing chefs, bartenders, and baristas from around the globe.
