The desire more than anything giving pleasure to their guest. We could also learn a lot of them in UX design : some restaurants really offer such an experience. You re welcomed, they offer you a place full of little details, confortable chairs, nice service, nice flowers, all is selected very careffully. Meal is tasty, delicious, inventive and beautifull to watch .... In the old conflict beautifull vs usable, big chief now since a long time it's beautiffull and tasty thanks for your article i’m also a cooking & food addict ;-) I ve already discussed often with big chief and always amazed by their generosity.

Thank you for sharing! It always amazes me how interaction design tends to draw the most interesting and inquisitive minds from all sorts of fields ... cooking now among those on my list. The lessons you've extracted from your experience in both areas ring true. Ryan, a wonderful and excellently succinct article! Thank you for sharing!

Bravo. Nice to know that I, in my early days as a starving artist, was not the only one that turned to culinary disciplines as a way of feeding our creative thoughts and gullets. Bon Appetit!

Mike, I completely agree with your analogy. Your "user research" is very much in line with the way most of the cooks I know seek out inspiration. Jason (who I mentioned in the article) was just sent to France for a month to live, eat and work in environments that are sure to be reflected in the menus he dreams up in the months and years to come. (I know, rough gig, huh?) Good observation about the patterns making their way into cookbooks - effectively, they're artifacts of all the inspiration and experimentation that have worked their way into the vernacular. Thanks for the comments, and glad you dug the article. Jim, thank you for the link, I’ll give it a read this weekend.
