Flavor Pairings

It’s a crazy week — May and June are insane months for caterers, so much so that I am considering starting a petition drive to have both months combined into one ugly 60-day month called “Helldorado”.  Blogging may be fits and starts this week.

So, the next few posts are going to be about new flavor pairing ideas and I was hoping people might want to play along using the home version of the game.  You can get a really good start with the excellent tool (with the curious name of) Foodpairing.  You know that parmesan cheese goes well with tomatoes, but did you ever expect it may work with chocolate or banana?  More about the underlying science in a future post, but in the mean time, enjoy the inspiration that comes from the unexpected.  Pick out something you like and make a dish using some radical departures from what you may usually do.
