Gallery: Food Design North America at The New School

On June 9, 2014, a group of designers, media professionals, academics, chefs and museum curators met at The New School to discuss what has now become Food Design North America, a group that connects people interested in the theory and practice of Food Design. With the help of the Dining Services of The New School, a living table was created with grass and edible herbs. Each guest was asked to choose from the ingredients prepared by chefs and designers in various geometrical forms, textures, and colors, and to compose their own meal on a wood board. These are the results, each expressing a guest’s unique approach and point of view.

CULINARY LUMINARIES: Joseph Baum, Restaurant Impresario

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjfgHlvFzqo]

Mention the name of Joe Baum (1920-1998), and the restaurants that come to mind—Windows On The World, the Four Seasons, la Fonda Del Sol—tell you he was a man of big dreams. It took a huge personality and force of will to execute some of the most extravagant restaurant projects ever seen. Joe Baum had a tenacious attention to detail and a flair for the spectacular, with the ability to pull people together to solve seemingly insurmountable obstacles. A true visionary in the spirit of those previously honored as Culinary Luminaries: James Beard, Julia Child, M.F.K. Fisher, and Craig Claiborne. Meet the people that knew and worked with Joseph Baum and learn how he changed the industry.

    The Edible Institute at The New School – Authentic Eats

    [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxbdmvqLtOU&feature=relmfu]

    The New School and the editors of Edible Manhattan and Edible Brooklyn welcome you as we kick of Eat Drink Local Week, a participatory celebration of local bounty organized by Edible magazines and GrowNYC that runs September 26 to October 6. And, because we hope Eat Drink Local will expand your mind, and not just your waistband, we’ve assembled four panel discussions – inspired partly by content in issues of Edible – that feature the food makers, journalists, activists, and locavores who make Gotham’s food culture.

    Is the golden era of authentic eats behind us, or just taking root? As boutiques push the city knish toward extinction, horchata popsicles, hipster picklers and taco trucks sprout like sidewalk wildflowers. Old school LES costermongers and next-generation entrepreneurs debate what’s vanishing – and what’s blossoming.
