Duan Yu, known as the "master of creative design of cutting-edge Chinese food", once said: "Innovative dishes can only be innovated on the basis of inheriting traditional cooking skills. Innovative dishes must have their own new characteristics, and they can be recognized by consumers within a certain period of time, have their own vitality and bring market value, so as to be regarded as a successful innovative dish."

Innovative dishes should have the following characteristics:

1, the application of new seasoning materials and means

2, the application of new cooking materials

3. Simplify the manufacturing process

4. Learn from the North and the South and blend Chinese and foreign.

5. Combination of nutrition and dietotherapy

6, the application of new cooking utensils and containers

Innovative dishes are generally improved and innovated from traditional dishes, and there are also completely new dishes and imitation new dishes, and no matter which type of innovation comes from tradition, it is higher than tradition.
