Love the tools you use, for they hold the power of craft and connection
The Wooden Palate was born from a deep rooted understanding that the objects we touch every day hold power. In the grain of handmade wood, there is history, there is craftsmanship, there is connection to something older than we are. This is about more than function-it's about reclaiming the beauty in what we work with and honoring the wood that serves us.

Our roots
The Wooden Palate was founded by Ryan Silverman, a woodworker with a clientele most only read about, and his wife, Eileen O'Dea, a chef who swapped the kitchen for the workshop. Together, they design each piece with one thing in mind: that it will endure, long after the moment it was first held
Recipes
Smash Burgers
Why smash? The patty gets crispier, and more flavorful. The topping to burger ratio improves- and the whole experience just gets better!
Sweet + Spicy Crispy Rice, with Kabocha Squash and Kale
This is the perfect dish for leftover rice. In fact, it's best with leftover rice! Mix all ingredients and spread thinly on a baking sheet. Bake on 350 for 25 minutes. Stir halfway.
Loaded Cauliflower Brains w/ Tahini & Romesco
Sprinkle cauliflower with a little sea salt, and steam lightly for about 5 minutes, to tenderize. You want the texture to be slightly softened, but not mushy at all.
