CA 270 - Flavor Pairing Dynamics

Credit Hours 3
Lecture: 2 Lab: 2
Flavor pairing dynamics will simplify the challenge of food and beverage pairing, teaching students that the best matches create peak experiences. We will explore food and beverage pairing as seen through the eyes of the world’s most discriminating palates, who see food and drink as inseparable and complimentary (such as Daniel Boulud, Traci Des Jardins and Patrick O’Connell). This class will provide the student with a wealth of guidelines for pairings, not only by specific food, but by food type, time of day, characteristics, season, cooking method and personal mood. The class will focus on foods, spices, herbs, flavoring ingredients, wine, tea, water, coffee, beer and spirits, and offer the pairings in reverse—what to serve if you’ve already selected your beverage. The students will learn how to use their senses (see, smell and taste) in hands-on sensory dynamic class sessions, and create dishes in the commercial kitchen that pair beautifully with selected beverages.
