I was recently at Union Square Green Market to pick up some maple candy from Deep Mountain (http://deepmountainmaple.com/green-market) for friends. Check out these rainbow carrots from Paffenroth Gardens. The texture! The colors! Oh, and the pecan maple candy rocks, too.
In NYC, on my way to have French Onion Soup Dumplings at The Stanton Social, I happened across this amazing macaron shop: Biscous Ciao (http://www.bisousciao.com/). Bright, colorful and simple interior design, this was a shop you wanted to step into! And, the macarons were delightful. I shared a dulce de leche as an appetizer!
Barndiva's Salon des Sens exhibition was quite a success during the opening reception this weekend. A big thank you to Studio Barndiva and Curator Maggie Spicer who organized quite a 'palatable' exhibition revolving around the food we eat.

Coming from a publishing background and working with various writers, authors and book agents, I found this article in the Huffington Post to be quite amusing. Mariah Bear's witty infographic seems to extend beyond just book publishing as it can easily translate into other artistic endeavors and the processes we go through as artists.
We're very excited to be included with Maggie Spicer and BarnDiva for Salon des Sens opening in less than one month! Mark your calendar to come celebrate a melting pot of creative and conceptual art centered around our food.

2012 is off to a busy start! I've been in London for the past couple weeks, with a quick stop at the end in New York, meeting with galleries and commercial clients on both sides of the pond.
While I was in London I heard about a liquid nitrogen ice cream parlor called the chin chin laboratorists. With my jam packed schedule I had to make a special trip to Camden Lock for a Sunday morning ice cream breakfast. Let's just say I was not dissappointed.
Owners Ahrash Akbari-Kalhur (pictured below) and Nyisha Weber were so nice, and their ice cream is INSANE. I had their delectable dark chocolate ice cream drizzled with salted caramel and topped with with candied pretzels. Definitely make the trip the next time you're there!
