Our senses show us what we like to eat. But what else could we like to taste? How can we cook to find new taste experiences? One possible approach is “foodpairing”. Through a precise flavor analysis, we know which foods and spices go together or support each other in their flavor. I have integrated this information into the shelf system “Spice Up”. A color and symbol system accompanies us while cooking and supports us to combine our spices and foods. In addition to our experience of cooking, we have more possibilities to enjoy food. By using the knowledge of flavor components, we can find unexpected flavor combinations or rediscover familiar tastes.
