Kaye Winwood (She/Her)

Sensory artist and all-around foodie, Kaye Winwood, founded GULP as the first UK space dedicated to exploring food art histories, and showcasing innovation within food and sensory design through a programme of sensory dining experiences and activities.

Kaye's work fuses sensory design with visual arts and gastronomy to create new and meaningful eating experiences to enthral diners. In 2016 she applied the term ‘Expanded Dining’ to reflect a ‘beyond the plate’ approach which reconsiders the dining experience as a sensorial playground using food as an art material.
