Because this is award season in Hollywood where an actress wearing a designer dress gets major kudos, I decided to take a moment and give a Food Polka Award.
The Food Polka Award for the Best Green Design goes to… Kaffir Lime Vase designed by Mother Nature.
One sunny morning as I was walking my dog Jack in my neighbor’s back alley, this all-natural, organic vessel rolled to my feet.
I picked it up and sniffed it. Where did it come from? I had never noticed Kaffir lime trees in my neighborhood! Maybe it fell out of someone’s shopping bag!? As a forager of nature’s bounty, I placed it in my pocket and took it home.
The lime sat in my fridge for a week or so. Every time I opened the door, it kept asking, “So what are you going to do with me?”
It was too beautiful to just cut through it and use it for a culinary purpose. I sensed a higher purpose for it.
The day came when I had some bunches of fresh herbs sitting in a glass. They somehow connected me with the Kaffir lime. I picked it up and looked into the stem area of it. All of a sudden it looked like a perfectly designed natural vessel. An organic-shaped vase that even the most famous designers and architects could not have created that perfectly. So, I grabbed a drill and my camera, and the rest is history.
Have a Project in need of a Food Stylist, or Food Photographer?
You can now order limited edition printed cards of this natural marvel.
