The instructors will guide the class through the basics of balancing and harmonizing flavors. The participants will actively engage in tasting, getting to know the different primary flavors and their sources, and learning how the ingredients interact with one another. By tasting dishes in different stages of preparation, you will get a sense of how individual ingredients can be selectively utilized and combined in creative ways.
