"Modernized Comfort Food" is more than a simple reinterpretation of classic dishes. It combines a harmonious balance between traditional recipes and innovative preparation methods. The focus is on fresh and high-quality ingredients to preserve the characteristic taste of comfort dishes, while striving for a modern and creative presentation. The modern interpretation of comfort food is a culinary experience that has established itself in finer restaurants as well as cozy bistros and cafes. It appeals to people of all ages who enjoy indulging in dishes that are associated with childhood memories and a sense of comfort.
Various gastronomic terms are used in the preparation of dishes. "Sous-vide cooking" is often used to keep meat dishes tender and juicy while intensifying flavor. "Espuma," a foaming technique, is used to make soups and sauces lighter and airier, adding a sophisticated touch to dishes. The arrangement of dishes also plays an important role. This is where the eye comes into play, as modern comfort food should not only taste delicious, but also be visually appealing. Garnishes are artfully placed, while color compositions on the plate are aesthetically pleasing and stimulating.
The culinary revolution of "Modernized Comfort Food" is also reflected in the table concepts, table settings and tableware used. Traditional elements are combined with modern designs to create an atmosphere of comfort and contemporary style at the same time. Wooden tables with minimalist place settings, rustic decorations and elegant tableware elements are the basis for this concept. The idea behind it is to offer guests a cozy and appealing ambience that perfectly matches the modern interpretation of comfort food.
Another aspect of "Modernized Comfort Food" is the staging of the dishes. Presentation on the plate plays an important role in perfecting the culinary experience. Restaurateurs use various techniques such as "stacking," "layering" or "micro-portioning" to arrange the dishes in an aesthetically pleasing way and offer guests a pleasurable experience for all their senses. Rustic and charming tableware elements are in demand, reflecting the soul of comfort food. Authentic plates and bowls made of porcelain or wood add a special touch to the dishes and underline the connection to traditional values and natural materials.
Wild Food
A duck egg smoked in a fine smoker on hay is perfectly presented on a flat metallic plate in a rustic, extravagant style. It is accompanied by a glazed and roasted thick rib of pork, celeriac puree, beech mushrooms and blackcurrants. A steak knife with a mother-of-pearl handle, a simple modern dinner fork and an elegant crystal glass complete the glamorous presentation. An extraordinary eye-catcher with a sophisticated touch!
Regional freshness
Modern, healthy, regional and without waste: The braised beef cheek with baby carrots, chanterelles and vine leaf is served on a light-colored flat plate made from sustainable production with a graphic design. The ingredients - fresh from the farmer straight to the plate - are just as natural and fresh as the colorful impression left by the modern, artistic composition.
Modern Comfort Food
A pork crust with semolina dumplings, buckwheat and roasted onion gel is served in a handmade bowl in bright colors. This comforting, warming dish, just like grandma used to make, is interpreted in a modern and surprising way. A dark tart dish with a metallic look serves as a contrast and is used for the side dishes. Modern cutlery with wooden handles adds a rustic touch to the presentation. A straight-lined glass with a ribbed surface in pink adds an urban touch to the cozy presentation.
Modern tradition
Tried and tested reinterpreted: Gastro focuses on modern tradition, which in the interaction of food and tableware results in a harmonious whole. Today, serving on the plate should be much lighter and more delicately designed. For this, we recommend tableware with traditional motifs and colours - high-quality, opulent and at the same time so restrained that the chef's creation remains in the foreground.
