Not planet Saturn, but Radish Ravioli

Not some new weapon or a couple of invading aliens, just Apple Pie Caramel with edible wrappers

Oyster-Passion-Fruit-and-Lavender-fat_duck_5lg

Not an alien wedding party light years away, just an oyster with passion fruit and lavender

All these beautiful photos have in common that they were made by Dominique Davies in a series for the Big Fat Duck Cookbook by Heston Blumenthal of the famous Fat Duck restaurant in Bray, UK….Hm I still have an invitation for dinner there ….. once…

Modrian Cake at the Moma

Mondrian Cake at the Moma

Not published much lately here due to some travel and a very busy hotel. Ah and you might find this blog unaccessible in the coming 24 hours as my hosting company decided to change server. I’m looking forward to it as I hope some glitches are evened out after the change.

Resuming with this nice photo of a Dutch painter Piet Mondrian inspired cake served at Moma and posted by managing Inhabitat editor Mike Chino on Twitpic.

Love this, as Piet Mondrian is tied very much into my The Hague where our museum of modern art has many of his paintings.

Thought we needed a smile after the seriousness of creativity from Chaos.

Came across this blog Insane Wiches, Insane Sandwich Fun, from which I’ll share a few good ones. He (or she?) is on Twitter as well: @insanewich, but not very communicative.

Tukaani Chopsticks for Westerners by Lincoln Kayiwa

tukaani01

No, this has nothing to do with a diaper- or hair pin, although it looks like it.

Helsinki, Finland, based designer Lincoln Kayiwa has designed the sterling silver Tukaani, a hand made connected set of chopsticks for the clumsy among us. A killer tool for the Sushi aficionado.

The loop is the key element: It holds and let you manipulate the chopsticks and can also be used to hang, store and display the Tukaani.

Lincoln Kayiwa was born in an architectural family in Kampala, Uganda in 1979. He graduated as a Master of Arts from the University of Art and Design Helsinki UIAH in 2008. Upon graduating he started his own brand product design company Kayiwa. He currently lives and works in Helsinki, Töölö.
