The "Artisanal Fine Dining" Boom 🥖✨
2026 Trend: Why "Boring" Old Skills are the New Fine Dining.
​ A major report just released for the 2026 Melbourne Food & Wine Festival shows a massive shift in what the world’s top chefs are doing. After years of 'molecular gastronomy' and foam, the biggest stars (like James Lowe and Nat Thaipun) are pivoting back to basics: Fire, Fermentation, and Flour.
​The Kitchen Passport Take:
We’ve always said that the most advanced 'technology' in the kitchen is a well-fed sourdough starter and a cast-iron skillet. Now, the world’s most expensive restaurants are catching up, focusing on 'Hyper-Authenticity' and traditional English, Eastern European, and Asian techniques.
​ It seems the world is finally realizing that 'real' beats 'fancy.'
What is one 'basic' skill you've mastered (like baking bread or pickling) that you think is better than any Michelin-star gadget? 👩‍🍳🔥
