Van Gogh's 'The Starry Night' Inspired Schiacciata (First in the World!🌍). With Caramelised Chestnuts 🌰, Dark Chocolate 🍫 Mashed Potato Coffee Crémeux 🥔 ☕, Raspberries, Smoked Sea Salt Flakes, Buttercream, Edible Flowers and Leaves.
*Inspiration*
Vincent Van Gogh is an inspiration to the three of us. It is because as chefs, we are also artists. This schiacciata bread is painted with an inspired scene from "The Starry Night" painting.
For the filling ingredients, we chose the food that Van Gogh adored such as potatoes, coffee, chestnuts and bread. It is because we want people to experience what the artist ate during his lifetime.
We made a creamy mashed potato with dark chocolate and coffee crémeux. The chestnuts were caramelised to imbue them with a sweet and savoury flavor. Van Gogh also loved to smoke, hence the fillings were garnished with smoked sea salt. The bread is schiacciata, an Italian bread which is crispy on the outside, while tender and chewy inside. The edible flowers, symbolising Vincent's love of nature and flowers, also add subtle floral notes. All the flavour elements work well together in perfect harmony.
This dish is dedicated to the beautiful dreamers, artists, chefs, and creators around the world.
Van Gogh once said, "Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
May you continue to create new things to inspire more people around you. ✨
