Ever hear of a “food illusionist?”
It’s what Chef Ben Churchill calls himself. And it’s appropriate because Churchill specializes in creating disgusting-looking desserts that actually taste quite delicious.
Most chefs pride themselves on making their recipes look as appetizing as possible. But Chef Ben puts a twist on presentation skills. He goes out of his way to make his desserts look completely inedible.
He disguises them as ashtrays full of cigarette butts, dishwashing sponges complete with detergent foam, and even rotten fruit with revolting green mold. Most people wouldn’t touch them. But for those brave enough to dig in, they find a surprisingly delicious dessert.
He’s been a professional chef for over ten years, but about four years ago, he realized he hadn’t really explored desserts. Only instead of making the same attractive treats everyone else made, he did the opposite. He made the most unappetizing-looking things imaginable.
Ben Churchill, by the way, has over 61,000 followers on Instagram. He has a day job as a restaurant chef but creates his food illusions within the comfort of his home and then shares his results on social medial.
It reminded me of the old quote, “All that glitters is not gold.”
Sometimes it’s easy to make a decision based on appearances. Fluctuations in the market can lead some to make the wrong decision when it comes to investments. Looks can indeed be deceiving.
