Edible candles to add spark to menus of the future

Dream weavers, psychologists, edible candles and flavour chemists are just some of the culinary extravaganzas that could be coming to a restaurant near you.

That’s according to a new “culinary inspiration” magazine launched by Bord Bia, which carried out a study of the newest innovations being undertaken by Michelin star chefs and high-end restaurateurs from London and Rio de Janeiro to Cape Town, Tokyo and New York.

The study aims to better inform Ireland’s food industry on the latest flavours, ingredients and cooking techniques at the leading edge of the culinary world.
