In creating any dish the approach for me is to begin with a need. Why do I need to create this dish? What is the season? What is the reason? I don’t approach food just to create, for me that would be too easy, like turning on a machine and sooner or later it all becomes just pieces moving in a direction.
My approach to food is like my approach to life, Fired Up! So I take a path less traveled and use a different method in creating dishes. I call it boxing. Here is an article I wrote for Catersource Magazine about boxing. This will help illustrate the concept and hopefully open you to a new way of thinking about food.
Fire it up!
