$125.00 – $1,300.00
Jonathan Kallini’s Spoonful Story
About six years ago, this unique spoon caught Chef Jonathan Kallini’s eye. He was looking for a way to reduce the number of things stored in his bain-marie, a cylindrical metal container chefs typically use to store their tools of the trade. This spoon “had a ruler to provide examples to my cooks of exact dimensions (and check them after the fact), could be used as tweezers in a pinch (no pun intended), and most importantly, was an appropriate size for most spoon tasks, whether it be saucing, plating, or tasting. Nobody ever mistook it for their own and nobody had one like it.”
At the time this spoonful was plated, Chef Jonathan Kallini had just gained some menu control over the restaurant where he began his career. He was experimenting with presenting foods altered from their original form and texture, such as these “noodles” made from beet gel. While this spoon has since been retired to a place of honor on Kallini’s home office desk, it continues to symbolize his approach in the kitchen. “It shows my penchant for specificity and attention to detail. It’s a tool that demonstrates my adherence to standards, and it showcases elements of a cuisine that require precision and understanding of ingredients.”
Ingredients: Beet gel noodles and anise hyssop oil
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.
