Culinary simulation refers to the use of technology to replicate cooking processes and food preparation techniques. This can include virtual reality (VR) environments, computer software, or interactive applications that allow users to practice cooking skills without the need for physical ingredients. Culinary simulations are often used in culinary schools and training programs to enhance learning experiences. These simulations can help users understand flavor combinations, cooking methods, and kitchen management. By providing a safe and controlled environment, culinary simulations enable aspiring chefs and home cooks to experiment and learn from their mistakes without wasting food or resources.
