    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Culinary action; culinary arts; cultivated diversity; food design; food science; gastronomic potential; gastronomy; gray peas; meal science; sensory science;

    Abstract : The underlying assumption throughout this thesis is that the continuity of a cultivated diversity can be strengthened by investigating its sensory qualities and specifying particular culinary utilities of landraces and cultivars. How can a foodstuff’s sensory qualities and culinary utility be explored, tested, and refined together with the food industry and the public meal? This thesis aims to create a path toward sustainable gastronomy with greater sensory variation that originate from a cultivated diversity. READ MORE
