In this episode of the Scoolinary podcast, we share a coffee with Paula Gertel and Cameron Fraser of Gertel & Fraser, their signature brand of “alive tableware,” which they’ll explain the meaning of. Anyone who’s ever watched a dish being professionally plated has witnessed the painstaking detail that goes into the presentation, but how many of us have ever given much thought to the actual plate underneath the dish? Both artists took the time to shed some light on this vital element of gastronomy despite being in the middle of a massive project to produce 160 pieces in time for an exclusive event in 10 days. Each piece they create is a culmination of carefully calculated choices to achieve specific results, but they will tell you that things don’t always go according to plan. Gertel & Fraser have managed to go beyond the “food is art” cliché to achieve a special kind of intimate moment between their tableware, the dish, and the diner — you will look at the plate that’s bearing your food with a new appreciation after you listen to this episode!
