These three concept gastronomic dishes were created by [Michelin](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/saratoga-supper-club-2025) star chef Juan Mari Arzak. The Lunar Eclipse bowl, Fama long plate and Bocado de Luz serving plate will alter a diner’s mealtime experience.

Arzak and his daughter felt that regular dishes were not sufficient to present the wild and unusual concoctions [molecular gastronomy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-dining-experience) allow chefs to create. These new concept gastronomic dishes will be triggered when food is placed on the plate or liquid poured into a bowl.
