The outfit inspired by Beet Me Down Salad. First of all the skirt has POCKETS!!! Very deep pockets. I digress, let's move on. I love this outfit! I have had it for a very long time. It was an inexpensive purchase from ASOS that I thought would be a very versatile option for many occasions, [...]
What I love about all of these things is that they involve creativity, taste, function, form, sensuality, history, timelessness and culture.
Baked lemon salmon with caramelized onion au gratin potatoes and sautéed garlic kale Salmon is one fish that is easily accessible and tasty enough that it makes its way into all of our kitchens. I am somewhat of a purest when it comes to seafood, I don't add much sauce or stuff them with more [...]
Me as Frenchie brioche breakfast pudding. French toast muffin with blueberry and raspberry compote and Kahlua whipped cream. Dressing up like the recipes I create has become compulsory, in an odd way it completes the look. Even though I am in my apartment during quarantine, I still want to have an experience around my meals. I want [...]
Me as my Ch Ch Ch Chia Nana Pancakes This post is as much about pancakes as it is my "cakes" as well lol. Working out during quarantine has been one of the things I’ve managed to be consistent about. I had one goal going into this and that was to not gain any weight [...]
When I came upon these pieces by Yuri Pardi I was taken back by how close it was to Günther Domenig’s home. I hadn’t seen fashion clearly take on the forms of a building I knew, and I had already been working on Palate Architect for 8 months. The gray colors of the 3D projections against the [...]
Grilled grey squash stuffed with lemon basil ricotta, topped with yellow grilled spiral squash noodles on a tomato base I have grown to love squash in a way I never thought I would. There are a number of foods that I realized I didn’t care for because of how other people prepared them. Squash was [...]
Vegan coconut ice pops with grated sweetened coconut I felt nostalgic, I had a craving for my grandmother’s coconut ice pops that she used to make and sell in St Kitts. My sister and I were chatting a last week about how much we loved these things. How many memories we had about them. As [...]
BLACK AF bulgur risotto, Prada Duchess Satin coat and Atrium wall This is the first time I am combining one of my original recipes in a Palate Architect IG post. I created this recipe because of my love for seafood. When I started my search for fashion and architecture to coordinate with this, I knew [...]
Bulgur risotto with cuttlefish (squid) fish ink and calamari. To know me is to know that I love seafood. I love it all. I love the flavor, the smell, and the trips to the fish market to pick out my own fresh pieces. All of it. I grew up on an island and fresh fish [...]
Chive, Scallion, parmesan waffle with braised chuck beef and pickled shallots Truth be told, I am a pancake over waffles person. That’s my truth and it will never change. Recently I bought a really nice waffle maker on sale and decided that maybe it was time to up my waffle game. I am a whiz [...]
Beef chuck Ragu lasagna with homemade lasagna pasta and béchamel sauce This lasagna is called Labour of Love because the cook time from start to finish is about 6 hours. You will only put in this effort into yourself or someone you really care about, hence the name. I had only made lasagna once before [...]
