This is a serious question: all input would be greatly appreciated.
I am a serious cook who loves stimulating the senses. I have found by doing a few simple things: eg. changing the ambient smell (smell of room), changing cutlery (weight shape amount of food on the cutlery) etc to create new experiences can dramatically affect the dining experience.
I started to think this is like how people create sparks in their sex life because they try something new and exciting (i have heard of doing it somewhere new because new smells, new surroundings make it feel like the first time - really new and exciting).
Sooo......has anyone got anymore suggestions of ways treat people's sense's to something new that I could adapt for cooking? Cooking or sex tips appreciated (im sure i could find out the underlying sense stimulation for sex tips and adapt it to cooking).
Many thanks,
An enthusiastic chef
the colours thing - so right. I do use them but not enough - paella for instance is nice and colourful and colours stimulate sight
yeah - cooking for a living is hard. you are under a lot of pressure and its mentally exhausting and to put that much effort into each dish would mean you could only serve like 10 customers a day!
this is merely for friends and family - i can cook things better than a lot of restaurants but i wish to rival the great gastronomers who do food science and create an almost spiritual experience for them when they eat what i have cooked. I want food which tastes great, is made with lots of love and explores their senses completely
wow the girl who loved brains - excellent you truly understand. I actually make a delicious handmade pizza which fully explores the earthy sensual feel actually - that is one of my signiture dishes. It evokes memories and creates a vivid picture of where i want to take people when they are eating it.....thanks for your advice especially cause you truly understand
