Cooking may be an art--but it is also a science, and this book addresses one of the most interesting aspects of culinary study: that of flavor. A difficult subject due to its inherent subjectivity, flavor is analyzed and described in terms of its specific features. Chemical senses and universal factors determining flavor are addressed early in th; then, an attempt to create a universal theory of flavor is made describing the role of olfactory, gustatory and trigeminal systems together with personal differences in perception and a necessary distinction between flavor's intrinsic and extrinsic components. Bringing theory into the kitchen itself, late chapters analyze specific cooking methods, flavor in beverages (including fermentation and distillation) and an interesting section of matching foods and beverages to complement flavors. Finally, a section on general food appreciation appeals to the hidden gourmand in all of us. Annotation ©2014 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR ()
