Introduction:

Modern Art, Architecture and Design are not normally quoted as the “creative sources” of a chef’s work but that is where Parson’s School of Design, New York and French Culinary Institute trained Tom Wolfe differs.

Tom now runs Blue Food from his base in London, providing a unique take on event catering.

His delicious, imaginative and innovative food and it’s presentation, is strongly influenced by his passion for 20th Century Art and Design, especially Russian Avant Garde and Bauhaus.

His bold use of form and colour and his unique range of personally designed serving trays create compositions echoing the likes of Kandinsky and Malevich.

He approaches each assignment as an opportunity to create a stimulating experience of tastes and visions.

The Food:

His food is simple, “Flavours are not manipulated” and as he expains, “I have reversed the process in a way, as many chefs over complicate their recipes and serve canapés in a formal and dull way.
Instead, I maintain the integrity of simple recipes but I present them in a way that is literally “A Feast for the Eyes”.

This modern twist on traditional canapés includes,a geometric pyramid of Raspberry Vanilla Panna Cotta, Blue Curacao and Coconut Rum Jellies and Blinis with Sour Cream and Tobiko Caviar.

One of his most spectacular creations is
“Pierre et Gilles” inspired Silver Thorn Bush, produced in collaboration with jewellery designer, Dani Tarcinale.

Organic silver branches made to bear divinely decadent chocolate dipped strawberries rise elegantly from a contemporary silver base.

Clients:

Tom has been commissioned to cook for many celebrities and leading companies, especially in the field of Fashion, Film and Music. 20th Century Fox have used him for over 40 major Film Premieres.

Other clients include Steve Lillywhite, Sara Jessica Parker and Jude Law.
