About Kajsa Hult

Kajsa holds a PhD in Culinary Arts and Meal Science and defended her dissertation in the fall of 2024 titled "Hipster Hospitality and Beyond". Her research interests lie at the intersection of gastronomic quality and simplicity, exploring how dining experiences are shaped and communicated from the producers' perspective in an era where individualization and hipster practices have become increasingly established in society. In addition to her academic focus on restaurant professionals, restaurant conceptualization, and taste, Kajsa has several years of hands-on experience as a sommelier and dining room professional. This experience has made it important for her to continue highlighting a profession that often receives less attention in media discussions about restaurants.
