WHAT IS CREATIVE CUISINE
Creative cuisine can be defined as the process of analysis and creation of a recipe or gastronomic experiencewith which to develop or transform it. This analysis can take into account a multitude of factors such as the product, the recipe, the different techniques, presentation and even the concept itself. There are no limits, to be able to innovate in the kitchenalmost anything goes. As every year new ideas, trends and experiences appear.
HOW TO DEVELOP CREATIVE COOKING
There are many ways to be creative, but there are creative cooking techniques that help us to do so. One of the first steps is analyze what we want to be creative with. Recognize each element that makes up a dish, ingredients, ingredients, etc.,the characteristics of the product, the presentation of the dishes, the textures, sweet and savory or merge cooking styles. With which to modify or reinvent the recipe.
EXAMPLE OF CREATIVE COOKING
To start with something simple, we base it on a recipe we already know, such as an apple tarte tatin. We make a list of its main ingredients, analyze them and look for their properties :
- Granny smith apple (sweet and sour fleshy texture)
- Sugar (sweet)
- Butter (fatty, aromatic)
- Puff pastry dough (crunchy texture)
- Cinnamon stick (aromatic)
Now that we have this list of ingredients, let's think about... Can we change any of them? What if we change the apple for another fruit?
Pear, peach, plum, cherry, etc...
And if we change the fruit for a vegetable, to transform it into a savory preparation
- the apple for the tomato
- We reduce the sugar and add salt
- Butter for olive oil
- We keep the puff pastry dough as a base product, so that there is an element that still reminds us of the traditional taten.
- Cinnamon for thyme
We there we have it, we have created a new recipe based on one we already knew and we have looked for new possibilities by analyzing the properties.
TRENDS IN CREATIVE CUISINE
Trends channel creative cuisine by providing a framework in which chefs can create.
I give as an example the restaurant Sublimotion created by renowned chef Paco Roncero.Where he has achieved an immersive experience, where he has taken into account the experience of each of the senses, sight, touch, taste, smell and temperature. To give you an idea, the dining table is a giant television screen, and images and environments are projected on the walls to better recreate the experience.
