Chef David Skinner, known for his ambitious culinary journey, has established a new direction for his cooking with the opening of Ishtia, a live-fire tasting menu restaurant. Eculent, his previous venture, highlighted modern gastronomy, but Skinner's new project, in collaboration with fellow chefs, emphasizes Indigenous foods and historical narratives. The dining experience at Ishtia focuses on using traditional Native American ingredients and aims to educate diners about Indigenous cuisine, a topic that many are unfamiliar with, thus providing a unique cultural culinary experience.
Many people have no idea what Indigenous food is, and so came my chance to help further define it.
Ishtia is a more cohesive story, contrasting with Eculent's previous focuses.
I exchanged notes with Julia Child at age 15, which shaped my culinary path and ambitions.
The extravagant multi-course dinners hosted at Eculent showcased my passion for modern gastronomy.
