The Flavor Matrix

The Art and Science of Pairing Common Ingredients to Create Extraordinary Dishes

By: James Briscione,Brooke Parkhurst

One of Smithsonian Magazine's Ten Best Food Books of the Year A revolutionary new guide to pairing ingredients, based on a famous chef's groundbreaking research into the chemical basis of flavor As an instructor at one of the world's top culinary schools, James Briscione thought he knew how to mix and match ingredients. Then he met IBM Watson. Working with the supercomputer to turn big data into delicious recipes, Briscione realized that he (like most chefs) knew next to nothing about why different foods taste good together. That epiphany launched him on a quest to understand the molecular basis of flavor--and it led, in time, to The Flavor Matrix. A groundbreaking ingredient-pairing guide, The Flavor Matrix shows how science can unlock unheard-of possibilities for combining foods into astonishingly inventive dishes. Briscione distills chemical analyses of different ingredients into easy-to-use infographics, and presents mind-blowing recipes that he's created with them. The result of intensive research and incredible creativity in the kitchen, The Flavor Matrix is a must-have for home cooks and professional chefs alike: the only flavor-pairing manual anyone will ever need.

Twenty-Nine Tales

None

By: James Howerton

You dont talk like God. How do you know? Have you ever once talked to Me? What do you want Me to do, start throwing a bunch of thees and thous at you? Im not the threatening kind, Andy. But you owe Me a favor. And it would be better to pay it than not. Oh, Please! Andy crawled off the couch and got to his knees. He clasped his hands in supplication. Please, just leave me alone! Get off the floor, Andrew. Get off your damn knees. And stop folding your hands in front of you, it creeps Me out. Ive had a stomach full of people whimpering on their knees, believe you Me. I never made people to be on their knees, they somehow learned it on their own. Andy stared up at the bumpled-white ceiling. Whats the favor you ask of me? Its a small thing, the voice said. I want you to rescue my daughter. Andy stared at the ceiling. Then he scrambled off the couch and staggered into the kitchen. Andy? I need a drink. Maybe four or five. Oh, God! He touched his chest, heard his heart pumping too hard. Yes? Drink until I pass out and this goes away. Are you talking to yourself, or Me? What? Rescue your... My daughter. The daughter of God.
