The project Inclusive Gastronomy aims to support an enjoyable experience when dining in restaurants for food-allergic people. Where they can eat without the stress of an allergic reaction - ultimately aiming for an equal dining experience as nonallergic guests.
Co-creation session
With the aim to generate ideas and identify requirements for an inclusive dining experience, we organized a co-creation session. Ten food experts (food-allergic guest, clinician, chef, etc) participated in a workshop dinner. They explored opportunities and constraints from multiple perspectives and translated ideas into magical elements for safe dining in restaurants with food allergies.
Probes
Based on these discussions, the participants made magical elements (low-fidelity prototypes). With the identified opportunities, we will develop probes (speculative prototypes) that show how Inclusive Gastronomy can support food-allergic people dining out safely and comfortably in the future.
