International Journal of Food Design

Although the journal is open towards different background disciplines, knowledge and expertise, it focuses on collecting any food design-related research outcome: research that somehow combines food and design. We define food design as simply the discipline that connects food and design: design applied to food and eating, or food and eating investigated from a design perspective. In other words, among all knowledge on food and eating, we look at research where design has an important role, and among all knowledge on design, we look at research that focuses on aspects of food or eating. Connecting food and design of course means connecting any aspect of food with any aspect of design. For this reason, the journal is interested in pushing the boundaries of research that connect aspects from culinary arts, hospitality, food science, food culture, and any other food discipline, with aspects from design theory, design education, industrial design, design history and any other design discipline. Connecting food and design can also mean looking at how design is or can be used in all aspects of the eating experience. The eating experience is the process that transforms stimuli of an eating situation into emotions, knowledge and ultimately memories.
