inputgerichte

Inputgerichte is a term that does not have a standard definition in mainstream culinary literature or lexicography. It appears to be a neologism formed from the Dutch word gerecht (dish) and the English word input. Because the term is not widely used, its meaning is not fixed and depends on the context in which it is employed.

In a culinary context, input could refer to information provided by guests—dietary restrictions, flavor preferences, or nutritional goals—that influence the composition or preparation of a dish. In this sense, an inputgerichte would be a customizable or modular dish.

In technology-enhanced dining, the term might describe systems or menus where customer data, selections, or sensor feedback feed into recipe generation, portioning, or timing. This mirrors trends in personalized nutrition, co-creation in food, and interactive dining experiments.

Because the term is not widely attested, its usage should be clarified by the author or source. It is best understood as a potential concept rather than a fixed category, and it relates to broader movements toward customization and data-driven gastronomy.
