|
The WindhamARTS Collaborative, in partnership with Steven
Dahlberg and the International Centre for Creativity and
Imagination, is hosting a monthly Creativity Networking
series on the first Wednesday of each month.
The next
session is from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, July 2,
at a NEW LOCATION -- in the old Postmasteršs Office at
the Main Street Cafe, 967 Main Street, Willimantic.
CREATIVITY NETWORKING:
THE CREATIVITY OF MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY
This session will feature the creative integration of
culinary art and molecular science -- exploring what
happens when everyday foods are deconstructed to
their basic elements and then re-created as something
profoundly new and delicious, while still vaguely familiar.
We'll be joined by the executive chef and the chef-intern
from Hartford restaurant ON20 -- which was recently
featured in the New York Times. They will lead us on this
journey, which will include demonstrations and tastes!
Executive Chef Noel Jones will be joined by his biochemist-
turned-chef-intern Robert Moore (who is also the retired
director of the Hartford Hospital Pathology Lab) to explore
how "making the strange familiar and the familiar strange"
is turning a meal in a restaurant into a performance
experience that helps us reimagine and understand food
in totally new ways.
NOTE: Creativity Networking will meet in July at a
NEW LOCATION -- Main Street Cafe in the old
Postmasteršs Office, 967 Main Street, Willimantic.
SPACE IS LIMITED, so please RSVP.
ABOUT THE CHEF NOEL JONES:
Noel Jones started working in the kitchen of a fine French
restaurant at the age of 14 and realized early that he had
a love for the craft. Having graduated at the top of his
class in culinary school in Ireland, Noel has worked on
both sides of the Atlantic, including serving as executive
chef of the Limetree in Kenmare, which earned a Michelin
rating during his tenure.
Prior to joining the restaurant
ON20, Noel was corporate executive chef at the United
Technologies Companies. In keeping with ON20's credo
of excellence, Chef Noel provides the Hartford area with
stellar cuisine, the likes of which is generally found in
New York City and other cosmopolitan areas. His passion
for culinary creativity is neatly summed up in his
philosophy: "Take classic cuisine and use it as a
springboard for the imagination to create new dishes."
