Fascinating culinary facts that will enhance your cooking knowledge
The Maillard reaction, responsible for browning and flavour development, begins at 140°C (285°F). This is why proper heat control is crucial for developing complex flavours in your dishes.
Adding fresh herbs at the end of cooking preserves their volatile oils and bright flavours. Hardy herbs like rosemary can withstand longer cooking, while delicate ones like basil should be added last.
Salt doesn't just add flavour - it enhances existing flavours by suppressing bitterness and enhancing sweetness. The key is knowing when and how much to use for each cooking method.
Letting meat rest after cooking allows juices to redistribute evenly throughout the protein, resulting in more tender and flavourful results. A good rule is to rest for half the cooking time.
A splash of acid (lemon juice, vinegar, or wine) can brighten and balance rich dishes. It cuts through fat and enhances other flavours, making it a chef's secret weapon.
We eat with our eyes first! Using contrasting colours, varying textures, and thoughtful plating can make the same dish taste significantly better by enhancing the dining experience.
