"I'm unlikely to sous-vide celeriac or triple cook my chips, but I can elevate my plate of pasta with a drizzle of amazing olive oil, or invest in a cutlery set that gives even a midweek dinner a sense of occasion. As much as the cooking, it's the little details that are, as celebrated chef Skye Gyngell puts it, what you take away and what make you feel wonderful."
"You can spend almost anything on a wine glass and restaurants do. At Restaurant Myse outside York, co-founder Victoria Overington waxes lyrical about the Richard Brendon and Jancis Robinson collaboration glassware. We use their universal glass, designed to suit any wine sparkling, white, red or sweet. They are very fine and the shape of the bowl means you get amazing aromas, she says. A set of two will set you back 96."
Restaurants prioritize sensory and small practical details—sound, scent, ceramics, hand soap and glassware—to create memorable dining moments. Small investments such as high-quality olive oil or a distinctive cutlery set can transform everyday meals. Wine glass choices range from expensive universal shapes that suit all wines and enhance aromas to durable, affordable Ikea options. Mid-range and high-end restaurants commonly use brands like Riedel, Nude or Luigi Bormioli, with price examples spanning 96 for two universal glasses, Ikea Storsint sets, and fluted crystal at 40 for four. Attention to such details brings a sense of occasion to home dining.
