Hey, have you ever wondered how the grainy texture of a 35mm film could inspire a new dessert? Think about a crumble topping that mimics that vintage look—sweet, crunchy, a bit of mess that tells a story. What do you think?

That’s exactly the vibe I was aiming for. I’ll start by mixing a coarse almond flour with a pinch of sea salt, then toss in some grated caramelized sugar for that golden snap. Once it’s baked to a perfect mid‑crisp, I’ll dust it with a dusting of cocoa‑spiced powdered sugar—just enough to mimic that old‑school film grain. I’ll plate it with a drizzle of espresso reduction, and the whole thing will look like a still from a 35mm kitchen movie. Let’s see if the nostalgia lands or if it just turns into a crunchy mess—either way, it’ll be a story in itself.
