Culinary Design + Food Branding: Research LO1
Week 3
love the character within these images- gives a level of context to the audience to perceive the object as part of this oriental/ floral layout- scenery matters
the packaging in itself reflects the surroundings, having lots of playfulness- creating intriguing, story-telling narratives.
"I'm usually approached to create product-driven imagery where the object is placed into a highly imaginative environment and is manipulated in 3D,"
"It's something I've long been fascinated by, and I use these objects as a tool for storytelling, whether that's around mundane pantry staples or by using ultra-luxury objects in a surreal or ironic way. I love introducing humour and a hint of subversion into my work."
the glow replicates the warm, comforting feeling elicited from a fresh loaf of bread
captures the essence and taste in a tactical way
"Bread has a completely different 'expression' depending on various factors such as temperature, humidity, yeast condition, and the baker. As I learned more about bread, I became more and more fascinated with it."
"It perfectly described the 'charm of bread' that I was looking for."
lights up the experience of eating
encapsulates identity of culture within patterns and tableware
embracing the Mediterranean essence of 'La Dolce Vita/The Good Life' and the stories surrounding producers, dedication to quality and culinary adventures while aiming to expand its reach to a broader audience and attract a younger demographic.
showcases Italy's producers and rich culinary heritage, echoing the bold and ornate lettering found on packaging and signage across Italy
restaurant project replicates/ re-creates Chinese 90's nostalgia, literary movements, and history.
“I was interested in subverting these traditional elements and reimagining them in a modern context,” says Jingqi. “I decided to take on a more inquisitive approach to understand how certain Chinese cultural traditions shaped the visual landscape of both the past and present.”
whimsical in design, every colour and design is representative of something ti do with Chinese culture and heritage
brilliant use of imagining these attributes in action, designing sets and rooms- every last detail has been considered.
Through looking at these kinds of projects, I am really inspired by the different ways they have been able to create narrative, metaphorical meaning, and identity through their designs. Each design choice is playful and intriguing, which really aligns with the vision i had for my first idea.
This art-board I created made me see all of the different things i could create when presenting this concept.
photography of real life designs
mockups of products within surreal 3D design
food photography
menus, signage and brand assets

About
Name: Atarah Meira Sofer Age: 23 Hometown: Mea She'arim, Israel Current Location: Brooklyn, New York Profession: Owner and Boss Lady at Motek Market and Cafe
Biography: Four kilometers from the bustling center of Jerusalem lies the neighborhood of Mea She’arim but you might think it was an entirely different world. The strict community is guided by their local Rabbi and takes the words of the bible literally. This community is where Atarah grew up, the youngest of seven, to an Ultra-Orthodox Haredi family. Growing up in a Haredi household meant that her entire life was planned, that she would be arranged to be married at seventeen, then she’d be responsible for her husband and the large family she’d be expected to provide for him. It all came to a screeching halt when Atarah announced that she wanted to join the Israeli Defense Force. Hasidic men don’t even join the IDF, instead, spend their time studying the bible but she knew that the army was a way out of her constricting upbringing and would let her experience life outside of the insular community. What she didn’t expect was for her family to disown her or just how difficult it would be to try to assimilate into the culture of modern Israel.
Her two years in the army were exhilarating and expanded her views, challenging everything she’d learned in her youth. It was the first time she realized that she could do so much more than being a wife and mother. Her unit became almost like a family, bonded through the experience of working in the combat zone. She had been focused on their mission and eager to do her part in the war efforts until she and her best friend, Chaya, were kidnapped by members of Hamas, who were trying to ransom the soldiers for members of their organization that has been imprisoned. The girls were tortured, locked in solitary confinement, and forced to interact by making up a code of knocking on the door between them. When their demands weren’t met, their captors inflicted worse on the girls, ending in Atarah being forced to watch them murder her best friend in front of her. Eventually, she was saved but her injuries brought her to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital in Jerusalem. A transfer to Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City is ultimately where Atarah starts her metamorphosis.
Released into a new world, she took a chance by opening Motek Market and Café, sharing the recipes her mother taught her to cook for her own family, not the public. Putting all of her efforts into her business gave her purpose, and offered her the kind of focus and duty instilled in her from being a soldier. She might seem as sweet as honey with her bright eyes and ever-present smile but Atarah still lives with the horrors of her past and a constant attempt to figure out what she truly believes.
Secrets:
Note: None of these are public knowledge but are here to use for connection/storyline purposes.
ONE: Growing up as the youngest of seven children, Atarah has a competitive spirit and a desire for success by any means necessary. As a child, that meant that she would tattle on her sisters or sweet talk her mother to give her the last slice of babka. As an adult, it has developed into a more devious trait; while Motek grows into a popular destination for a taste of Mediterranean food, she is fiercely aware of her competition. Determined to succeed at all costs, Atarah makes sure none of them prosper – by any means necessary.
TWO: The only way she could manage to acquire the money to open her café was to get blood money from a local gang. Her affiliation allowed her funds for the down payment and the rent. The terms of the deal weren’t desirable but she understood that she had to make a deal with the devil to build something greater. One of the terms of the deal was that her café is now a front for a drug trafficking ring and her bakery provides drugged sweets for those in the know. Ultimately, her hands are tied in this venture because it will take a long time to begin to pay them back but she is constantly looking for opportunities to find her way out but the access to drugs pulls her back in. She doesn’t showcase her growing addiction, embarrassed that anything has power over her but it is growing as she falls deeper into her associations with the gang.

My Too Good to Go order from Taïm in Park Slope: chicken shawarma and rice bowl. My Too Good to Go cost: $3.99.
This was a sad-looking bowl compared to my previous bowls from the same restaurant. Usually, they include some Israeli salad in the bowl.
I’ve decided the key to getting a good surprise bag from this location might be to go close to the end of the pickup window. I normally go at the very beginning of the window. I’ve noticed that they are still really busy with “regular” orders at that time. Maybe if they’re not so busy, they’ll be more thoughtful about what kind of bowl they build.

Why were acorns phased out as a major food source in europe? When did it happen? Was it simply because less oak was planted once they didn't need as much lumber and firewood? Was it because masting made it an inconvent staple?
Until I got this ask I had no clue acorns ever had been a major food source in Europe. There are apparently over 500 different varieties of oak, and none of the ones I’m familiar with have edible acorns--but there are several around the Mediterranean, as well as in Asia and North America, which are edible, and in Europe acorns were apparently a major part of traditional diets in Spain and Italy. Wild! Acorns seem to tie into a landscape that is largely forested grazing land, where pigs root around under trees.
So as I looked into it, I found references that acorns were a large part of the diet still at the end of the 19th century, and that in 2013, the elderly members of the culture remembered when it was a staple. So that made me think it’s probably a change that happened over the 19th and especially 20th centuries.
Then I picked an area frequently mentioned as a consumer of acorns: Sardinia, in southern Italy. What has Sardinia’s agricultural history been like?
I found one study that said that Sardinia has been a human-impacted landscape since Roman times, but its land use patterns changed markedly under the house of Savoy. It isn’t freely available as fulltext, so I asked @kawuli if she could get me a copy. While I waited, I scampered over to the Wikipedia article History of Sardinia and found: “In 1820, the Savoyards imposed the "Enclosures Act" (editto delle chiudende) on the island, a legislative act which turned the land's traditional collective ownership, a cultural and economic cornerstone of Sardinia since the Nuragic times, into private property. This gave rise to many abuses, as the reform favoured the landholders while excluding the poor Sardinian farmers and shepherds, who witnessed the abolition of the communal rights and the sale of the land."
Then @kawuli got back to me with the PDF. I told her that I was researching why acorns are no longer a staple food in Europe, and she said, “ well, because literally anything is easier to process than acorns? like, why would you do all the soaking grinding whatever when you have the ability to PLANT WHEAT, which probably yields a lot more per area and per unit labor.” (She studies agriculture and land use, so I consider them a source) The PDF confirmed that starting in 1820, Sardinia saw a trend of forests being turned into cropland, and this only intensified as time went on and they had two World Wars, especially as quarries and urbanization ate into land use too.
The one place I still see acorns used today is in the creation of Jamón Ibérico, which as anyone who’s watched the first episode of Brooklyn 99 will know, is an INSANELY expensive ham made from purebred pigs that have grazed upon chestnuts and acorns.
This all sounds very familiar to me, steeped as I am in the British agricultural revolution. Wealthy landowners who were steeped more in scientific knowledge of the newest methods than peasant traditions of working the land said, “Hold up. We could produce WAY more food and money if we changed how we did this. Let’s get rid of all these inefficient old methods and plant cash crops instead.”
Acorns were, in a sense, the victims of the rise of capitalist agriculture. (They might be making a comeback, though; an article on Sardinian conservation says that deforestation reached its peak around 1965, and Sardinia’s forests have been growing ever since then.)
To tangent away from Sardinia: to me, the Acts of Enclosure were in many ways the moment Britain’s culture kind of broke--I can draw a very clear line from them, to the sense my ancestors who settled in Canada have that there are three types of land: Land you own, which can be exploited however the goddamn hell you want; Land somebody else owns, which they can exploit however they want and fuck anybody else; and public land, which ??? what’s that even for??? It’s a legacy that’s left us, culturally, without many robust frameworks for how to negotiate our collective relationship to the environment, our collective or individual rights to each other, and individual person’s relationship to the place they live (landlord rights vs tenant rights OH BOY).
But every time I get really down on enclosure, the agricultural revolution, and everything else, my knowledgeable friends remind me: The Agricultural Revolution happened because Europe was losing its ability to keep people from starving. More efficient agriculture gets people fed. If you want to have lots of people whose lives don’t involve backbreaking labour, you need a single farmer to be able to produce much more than they actually need.
The old ways had value, but the new ones did too, and we can’t turn the clock back entirely. We can only try to weave some sort of better future.
