Restaurants to Start Offering ‘DIY Dishes’ Where You Cook Your Own Meal
London, UK:
In the bustling city of London, a new dining trend has taken the culinary world by storm: restaurants offering DIY dishes where you cook your own meal.
Tom Kerridge’s New DIY Dishes Concept
At a recent culinary expo, renowned chef Tom Kerridge, author of “Tom Kerridge Cooks Britain,” introduced his groundbreaking concept, “Cook Your Own Feast.” “Why let chefs have all the fun when you can cook your own meal?” he proclaimed. “It’s dining made delightful!”
The Idea Behind DIY Dishes
The idea behind this trend is both simple and absurd. According to Kerridge, diners are provided with ingredients, tools, and guidance to prepare their own meals. “Every dish is a journey,” he explained. “Just imagine the satisfaction of cooking your own gourmet meal!”
Inspiration from a Disappointing Meal
Kerridge’s inspiration came during a particularly uninspiring restaurant visit. “I was disappointed with my meal and thought, why not cook it myself?” he said. “That’s when the idea hit me – DIY dishes could be the future of dining.”
The DIY Dining Experience
The program includes a variety of ingredients and recipes, allowing diners to create anything from traditional British roasts to exotic fusion dishes. Each table is equipped with a mini BBQ grill and a small fryer embedded in the surface, allowing diners to grill, fry, and sauté their ingredients right at their table. “It’s like having a personal chef and a cooking class rolled into one,” said one enthusiastic diner. The concept also promotes sustainability, as diners use only what they need. “Cooking and mindfulness can go hand in hand,” Kerridge added.
Mixed Reactions from the Public
Reactions have been mixed. Food enthusiasts are thrilled by the novelty, while some critics remain sceptical. “I can’t believe it until I try it,” commented a local foodie. Others worry about the practicality of cooking in a restaurant setting. “What if you burn your food?” pondered another.
Kerridge’s Optimistic Outlook
Despite the mixed reviews, Kerridge remains optimistic. “This is just the beginning,” he declared. “Next, we’re working on a concept where diners grow their own ingredients. Stay tuned!”
