The Science of Flavor
Unlock the Secrets Behind the Art of Flavorful Cooking
For some people, food is just fuel. For the rest of us, food is comfort, joy and nostalgia all rolled into one sensual cuddle.
As anyone who has lost their sense of taste will know, flavourless food is dull and monochrome - it is flavour that brings food into full technicolour life. Yet it's not always easy to make something tasty; the secrets to flavour can baffle chefs and scientists alike.
For both humble home cooks and chefs, this audiobook aims to reveal flavour's hidden mysteries, explaining the latest scientific know-how and showing you how to apply it in techniques that will breathe new life in familiar dishes, and perhaps even let you encounter foods in a whole new way.
