Experimental Dining examines the work of four of the world's
leading creative restaurants: Noma, elBulli, The Fat Duck and
Alinea. Using ideas from performance studies, cultural studies,
philosophy and economics, the book explores the creation of the
dining experience as a form of multisensory performance. It
examines the construction of the world of the restaurants and their
creative methods, the experience of dining and the broader
ideological frames within which the work takes place. Experimental
Dining brings together ideas around food, philosophy, performance
and cultural politics to offer an interdisciplinary understanding
of the practice and experience of creative restaurants. The author
contends that the work of the experimental restaurant, while
operating explicitly within an economy of experiences, is not
absolutely determined by that political or economic context. Its
practice has the potential to appeal to more than idle curiosity
for novelty. It can be unsettling and revealing, provocative and
evocative, personal and political, experimental and considered,
thoughtful and sensual. Or in other words, that the food event can
be art. Primary readership will be academics, researchers and
scholars in the fields of food studies, performance studies and
those with interests in the philosophy of everyday life, cognitive
science and sensory studies. It will be a useful resource as
supplementary reading on courses on Food and Performance. It may
also have interest for chefs, gastronomes, restaurateurs and
artists
