our first inspirational concept & signature: black
we presented ourselves, our ambitions and our brainchild de culinaire werkplaats for the first time at the festival for mobile kitchens in 2008 which took place at amsterdam’s culture park westergasfabriek. for this special moment we were looking for an appropriate inspirational theme for the very first food performance of de culinaire werkplaats. this we found in ‘black’.
‘the hidden talents of black’ was our first inspirational concept, and black has become a kind of a signature theme for de culinaire werkplaats.
black, the meaning. black food.ware can be interpreted in many ways. most people associate black food or ingredients with ‘burned food’. in daily life black has not always a positive connotation: black humor, black magic, black is synonym for death, et cetera.
black, the colour. 100% black only exists in theory. in daily life we see various blacks: blueish black, purple black, brownish black. These different kind of blacks you see also on your plate. Blueish black you find for instance at certain types of corn, some potatoes are purple black and a lot of mushrooms are brownish black.
a glimpse of our black.list. black sesame seed, black onion seed, black mustard seed, black basil, black beans, black soya beans, black chickpeas, black seaweed, black mushrooms (e.g. trompettes de la mort), black carrots, black tomatoes, black olives, black peppers, and so on……
black.collection. we have developed a black eat’in.collection. every dish, bite, or ready-to-eat product contains at least one black ingredient. it are all vegetable ingredients, and black by nature. we do not colour ingredients with non vegetable products like squid ink.
black favorites in the category savourish are for instance black sesame pesto, black marinated olives in dark chocolate, black spring rolls, black papadums,roasted black potatoes with croquettes of black mushroom. And last but not least: favorite sweetish blacks are balls of apricots in black sesame seed, muffins loaded with black prunes and cool cocktail squares of blackberries on lime foam.
the products of the black shop’in.collection are available in our offline shop, and soon you can order these products online.
black, the hidden talents:
- decoration: for instance garnish black rice with a colourful flower such as orange violets;
- health: the pigments of black ingredients contain a lot of antioxidants;
- the amount of black ingredients that exist!!!
- green, the new black, referring to the sustainability trend both visible in the food & fashion industry;
- orange, the new black during the worldcup 2010;
- honest & super honest black as successor of the eat’inspirations ’spoons full of honesty 01′;
- and as tribute to the little black dress in the eat’inspiration ‘wear or where to eat…’,
- etc.
