Chika Tillman’s Spoonful Story
Chika Tillman’s New York City restaurant serves three-course dessert tasting menus and nothing else, so featuring ice cream in her spoonful is perfect. When plating her spoonful, Tillman let her favorite color, green, shine through. She prepared more than a half dozen ice creams in various shades of green for the photo shoot, ultimately selecting the four shown here from darkest to lightest in color: basil, celery, lime and Granny Smith apple. “These made me happy by color and flavor.”
Her philosophy when cooking? “I let ingredients talk.” She uses only all natural, fresh ingredients, which she manipulates as little as possible. Owning the spoon was a happy accident: Tillman received it by mistake in an order from an Italian supplier. In her opinion, it is the perfect tone of green, so she hung on to it.
Ingredients: Basil, celery, lime, Granny Smith apple, cilantro oil and sugar
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.
