Enrico Crippa’s Spoonful Story
While traveling to Alba, Italy, Brent was able to capture the magic of Michelin-starred chef Enrico Crippa in this captivating shot. Strewn with hand selected flowers and herbs grown on site at his restaurant, Crippa captured the happiness of summer in his Spoonful. The ingredients Crippa plated represent “research, quality and passion” to him and are accompanied by his most intimately familiar spoon.
When asked to describe his Spoonful, Crippa views it from a playful angle: “It’s a sort of date between prawns that come from Ligurian sea (the region next to us) and cherries, the queens of summer in Piedmont” where the Ristorante Piazza Duomo is located. “It tells about my kitchen and my experience”, both centered in a region with an incredible terrior that lends
its unique characteristics to every last ingredient Crippa uses at his world renowned restaurant.
Ingredients: Prawns, tomato juice, orange juice, herbs and flowers
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.
