You know what I've been thinking about a lot lately (besides chocolate?) Food and design. Or rather, how good design makes food look better, and by extension, taste better. The Japanese nailed this aesthetic centuries ago, and now Copenhagen seems to be the new Tokyo in terms of bringing something new and exciting to the plate. Take the bread and butter in this photo, that I was served at the famous Jacobsen restaurant in Copenhagen a couple of months ago. Sure, it's homemade butter, and yes, the bread was warm and springy and slightly sour and amazing, but just look at it: Gorgeous. A wooden stub a lovely bowl and a rough hewn table = bread course gold!
It's the little things that make the difference.
