Open cuisine is an approach to cooking that does not use fixed recipes. It is centered on the notion about the cooking ingredients, the relations between them, cooking procedures and creative improvisation.
Overview
The emphasis in open cuisine approach is on deconstructing recipes and understanding their ingredients and the relations between them. That enables to use the recipes in a totally different way, combining/fusing different recipes, cooking procedures and cooking styles, using different ingredients (replacing them) and adding new ingredients.
It is a response to recent transformations of food culture such as increased globalized interchange of ingredients, cuisines, recipes and ideas and the change in the perception of cooking. Cooking is no longer considered as labor but as creative leisure.
Additionally it is a response to a last decade's market phenomenon - craft consumer. The craft consumer is someone
who transforms commodities into personalized objects. Cooking is clearly one of this transformations. Home cookers are not any more satisfied with following the given recipe. They want to engage in the recipe itself, select ingredients, define preparation in order to get their personalized object - a meal.
The Open cuisine aproach is based on some of the ideas of mulecular gastronomy which tryed to apply scientific principles to modern cooking with the aim of exploring existing recipes, introducing new tools, ingredients and methods into the kitchen and inventing new dishes.
A cuisine of future
Open cuisine cooking approach was partly initiated and enabled also with the use of information technology that provides a faster exchange of ideas and information. For now it is limited to more experienced cooks and professionals.
In future information technology will be probably used for further development in the direction of interactive recipe generators that will enable open recipe style of cooking even for the less experienced cooks. One of the first attempts in this direction is the Foodizmo project.
Eventually this recipe generators that are still in the experimental faze will probably in many ways serve as a replacement for traditional cookery books and recipe collections.
Recipe generator
Recipe generator is an interactive cooking aid that doesn’t operate as a collection of fixed recipes but instantly generates recipes according to the ingredients/cooking methods/cuisines chosen by the user. It enables cooking with ingredients at hand and helps even inexperienced cooks to cook with the open cuisine approach.

Hadji Bey Turkish Delight - well known Cork City Delicacy, The Hadji Bey et cie trademark was developed by the Batmasian family. They were Armenian Christians who fled to the UK and Ireland from the Turkish Pogroms in the early part of the 20th Century. They settled in Cork around the time of the Great Exhibition in Fitzgerald's Park. Quality confectionary was produced and sold out of a small shop/factory where the Met Tavern stands now on MacCurtin Street in Cork. The Batmasians finally stopped producing the Hadji Bey et Cie Turkish delight in the mid 1970's when Eddie Batmasian retired.
