Minority cuisines of Istanbul and their contribution to the formation of Istanbul cuisine
Istanbul’s rich historical background has given rise to a cosmopolitan culinary culture. The Ottoman Empire played a significant role in shaping the local culinary culture, which was further enriched by the societies that coexisted under its auspices. Alongside the food traditions of Muslim Turks, Istanbul’s cuisine was also influenced by the contributions of minority groups, making it one of the most varied and multi-faceted culinary cultures. This research article delves into the culinary cultures of three specific non-Muslim minority groups—Rums, Istanbul Armenians and Turkish Sephardics— and their influence on Istanbul’s cuisine through content analysis. The introduction illustrates the reasoning behind the selected minority groups, followed by a broad definition and formation of the concept of Istanbul cuisine. The following sections introduce the culinary cultures and hospitality practices of the selected minority groups and their contribution to Istanbul cuisine. The final part demonstrates how the city’s hospitality industry can embrace traditional recipes and contemporary influences and help preserve and celebrate Istanbul’s rich culinary heritage while shaping its future. There is limited research on the role of minority cuisines in enriching Istanbul’s culinary heritage in the context of hospitality. This article aims to fill that research gap.

Analysis of the Characteristics and Spatial Pattern of the Catering Industry in the Four Central Cities of the Yangtze River Delta
The development of the catering industry in big cities is of great significance for countries to improve the quality of development and improve people’s living standards. In recent years, the urban catering industry has effectively promoted the process of urbanization, and it is significant to study the development characteristics and spatial distribution of the catering industry for the urban pattern. Taking the four central cities (Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, and Hefei) of China’s Yangtze River Delta (YRD) urban agglomeration as examples, first, the point-of-interest (POI) data of various catering facilities in the city’s main urban area were crawled from the Amap (AutoNavi map) open platform through Python. Second, for the first time, three quantitative indicators were constructed to characterize the development and urbanization of the urban catering industry, namely cuisine localization index (CLI), cuisine diversity index (CDI), and cuisine geographical preference index (CGPI). Third, the overall spatial characteristics of the catering industry in the four central cities and administrative districts were obtained using the methods of kernel density and spatial autocorrelation analysis. The spatial distribution of the catering industry development in each city is displayed through GIS visualization, and its influencing factors are discussed preliminarily through geographically weighted regression (GWR) model. The research shows that: (1) the four central cities in the YRD have formed core catering areas with different agglomeration levels. Different cuisines in the city have the characteristics of partial spatial overlap. (2) In the four central cities of the YRD, there is a significant positive spatial correlation between the catering industry as a whole and individuals. Hangzhou and Hefei have higher CLI (0.38), but the cuisine structure is relatively simple. The CLI of Shanghai and Nanjing is at a low level, but the overall cuisine structure is relatively balanced. (3) The catering industry in the four central cities has a high degree of agglomeration, a wide range of agglomeration, and many agglomeration points. Only Shanghai cuisine, Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine, Anhui cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Shandong cuisine, and Hunan cuisine have significant positive correlations in space, and the correlations weaken in turn. (4) The influence intensity of the influencing factors on CLI and CDI is in the order of degree of openness, regional economic level, market vitality, population concentration level, industrial structure. The spatial pattern of catering in a city is greatly affected by the regional economy and population density. This study can provide a reference for research on the spatial distribution of the catering industry in similar urban agglomerations around the world.

Cooking up change in haute cuisine: Ferran Adrià as an institutional entrepreneur
Based on a longitudinal, inductive study of a critical case from a cultural sector, this article explores how institutional entrepreneurs initiate change. Our explanation points to four mechanisms: creativity that generates continuous flow of new ideas; theorization that takes stock of these ideas; reputation within and outside the field that endorses ideas as worthy of attention, and dissemination that brings ideas to the public domain. As novel ideas challenge received practices in the field, paradoxes of logics and identity emerge and provide potential for change. The study contributes to institutional theory by examining a preliminary, understudied stage of institutional change that provides a potential for change. Further, it shows how institutional entrepreneurs engage in the theorization and dissemination of their work. Finally, it reveals how reputation plays a critical role in the dissemination of new ideas and thus in the shaping up of the paradoxes and the potential for change.
