How Does a Restaurant Create a New Dish?

A new dish doesn't always begin with a perfect recipe. It can start with one ingredient, a technique a memory, problem.

Or simply:

“What if we tried this?”

Then comes testing.

Too salty? , Too expensive?, Too slow to prepare?, Does it look right?, Will people actually order it?

The recipe changes , then changes again.

Eventually, something that started as an experiment becomes part of the menu.

The final dish may look simple.

The process behind it usually wasn't.
