Culinary Arts

Artist statement:  "Culinary Arts has become an intimate connection with food -- specifically with the dessert on a menu. At Delicious Details - Edible Nutritious Art, I embrace a new intimacy, particularly through my  focus on raw cuisine and healthier desserts.  My approach is to utilize the finest raw ingredients in a manner that preserves their integrity, resulting in a new cuisine that is not only delicious but also incredibly nutritious. I prioritize ease of digestibility and the assimilation of nutrients, ensuring that every bite can contribute to overall well-being.  The culinary creations celebrate the beauty of natural, plant-based ingredients. I source ingredients sustainable and organic -- always minimally processed. By crafting artisan desserts that are free from gluten, dairy, and refined sugars, I strive to make indulgence guilt-free and diet-friendly, even allergen friendly -- always delicious!"
 

Artisan sweet treats are on the current menu - Cake TO-GO!

Many ask how can these desserts be free from gluten, grains, dairy, eggs, soy and be full of flavor and nutrition, here is the answer, I use these main ingredients:
 

Raw cacao as butter and powder 
Coconut as cold pressed virgin oil, shredded
Nuts walnuts, almonds,, hazelnuts, macadamia
Seeds cashews, brazil, sesame 
Tree maple syrup and coconut nectar
Fruits dates, figs, cherries, cranberries, blueberries, oranges
Vegetables carrots, avocados
Flowers & Herbs culinary / edible 
Superfoods as powders complimentary / highlighted 

Raw Cacao: Often hailed as a superfood, raw cacao is packed with health benefits. It boasts an impressive array of antioxidants, protecting the body from free radical damage. Additionally, it's rich in essential nutrients such as protein, healthy fats, and minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron. Notably, raw cacao contains theobromine, known as the "bliss molecule," which can elevate mood and promote a sense of well-being.

Coconut: From its meat to its oil and nectar, coconut is a versatile and nutritious ingredient. It offers a host of health benefits, including supporting heart health, aiding digestion, and providing a source of healthy fats. We incorporate coconut into our recipes for its distinct flavor and its ability to enhance both texture and nutrition.

Nuts:  Through soaking and dehydrating, I make these ingredients more nutritious and easier to digest. Activated nuts are rich in phytochemicals, vitamins (such as E, B6, and niacin), and minerals (including magnesium, zinc, and calcium).  The low temp dehydrator doesn’t compromise the nuts. Seeds are kept in the fridge here to maintain their freshness. 

Tree Sap: Natural sweeteners like coconut sugar and coconut nectar (from the blossoms) as well as maple syrup add a touch of sweetness. They are also lower on the glycemic scale. These alternatives not only enhance flavor but also provide additional nutrients and antioxidants.

Fruits and Veggies: Always organic and free from additives, these are the highlights for many of the recipes.

Decor: The desserts are adorned with edible decorations, including piped flowers, real edible flowers, micro herbs and cacao nibs. These decorative elements not only enhance the visual appeal of our dishes but also contribute to their nutritional profile, offering additional vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.
 

At Delicious Details, I believe in culinary artistry that nourishes both body and soul. Through my commitment to using high-quality, nutrient-rich ingredients, I strive to inspire a culture of wellness and vitality with one delectable dessert at a time.
