Forget anything you know about traditional food and pie making, Emma Wall a young designer takes you into a new era. Very much concerned with the new fast eating habits and their consequences on health Emma Wall decided to react. Thinking that the best way to touch the people would be to renew a traditional dish she chose to refresh the pie baking technique. Her pastry palette is meant “to build a better relationship with the cultures and pleasures of eating”. The pastry palette that you can see above is made of “a sycamore chopping board with a cooling, vitreous enameled reverse and the stencils stored within the board are made from food safe certified polypropylene”. This is a perfectly healthy panoply for cooking some healthy food. Your best chance to unite your family around a traditional pie with a modern look. With the stencil you can draw the union flag on your pie top “which reminds us the quintessential British nature of pie baking and presents us with contemporary alternative to pastry decoration.”
This description sounds like a perfect dinner but you
need something else if you want to make sure you will eat with a good pace. Don’t worry! Emma has the solution, she made up a Slow Celebration Candle Stick because “eating by candle light represents the notion of slow or celebrating dining”. This special light will let you the time to dream and eat with some sparkles in your eyes. “This product allows a household candle, set into a silicone base, to drip wax back into liquid. After several uses the mould will be full and a wicked candle in the shape of a traditional ornate candlestick can be released” says Emma. She made up the romantic recycling candle. You can make up your own as your dining experiences accumulate. “Time goes by so slowly” as Madonna would say , don’t waste it, enjoy every single second as you follow the light like a butterfly.
With a modern pie and a slow candle stick maybe that you hold the secret of eternal life, so don’t turn your back to it, just take your time.
