Summary

Abstract

Development of creativity and innovation in culinary art is a continuous process which brought us the diversity of current food and cuisines. From the nouvelle cuisine in the 1970s to fusion cuisine and molecular cuisine, various innovations suggested that culinary creativity is closely integrated with culture, art, science, and technology. This chapter is going to review the characteristics and evaluation principles of the Four Ps of culinary creativity (creative culinary person, creative culinary process, creative culinary products, and environmental factors (places)) affecting culinary creativity. Also, this chapter points out trends of culinary creativity to serve as references for chefs now and in the future. Such trends include green gastronomy, health-improved culinary, new technology application, and culinary localization and globalization.
