COOKING WITH COMPUTERS : AESTHETIC EXPERIENCE OF FOOD

Digital gastronomy represents a fusion of traditional cooking and modern computational capabilities. In practice, it uses digital fabrication tools already present in kitchens and integrates them into the culinary process through innovative recipes that combine manual and digital techniques. 

Through the use of parametric design, chefs can customize tastes, flavors, textures and aesthetics of dishes.

The use of computers in food systems and culinary practices is set to grow, helping to reduce waste, customize dishes with nutritionally documented ingredients, take advantage of the long shelf life of dried ingredients, and provide innovative tools for creative cooking.

This justifies the incorporation of computational cooking from a culinary perspective.

Digital gastronomy enriches the kitchen with new digital capabilities; by integrating computing, chefs can meet the personal needs and preferences of users, calculate the nutritional content of ingredients, precisely control chemical reactions during cooking, digitally adapt dishes to iindividual tastes, and control how flavor patterns develop within a dish.
