“I decided to learn the basics, but decided to move into mimetic food, just to see what could be done. This gave me the bug to start teaching myself more and more. Everything inspires me, it could be modern events, the media, online culture. But recently it’s been wanting to see how far I can push human perception and good taste.”
Illusionist Ben Churchill who changes the paradigm of what dessert should look like creates stunning desserts that look like other everyday foods and objects. Chocolate cigarette butts, merengue ashes, and rotten apples filled with custard – the talented chef has over 10 years of experience in the culinary world but only began to make pastries over the last three years. His attempts encourage to think outside of the box and take the road that has never been selected.
With all the success of his desserts, Ben released his first book, entitled “Food Illusions Vol. 1” in late 2017, available on Amazon.
