Think of this series as learning how to play the culinary scales. Over the course of 3 weeks we are going to arm you with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to master the art of salt, sour, and umami. Through a combination of tasting seminars and hands-on cooking, we will zero in on these 3 key tastes and dive into their uses, their sources and the importance of knowing how and why to master them. 

For every exercise that we do in class, we will toggle one key ingredient and then taste. For example, we will taste and use different salty ingredients and learn how something as simple as roasted vegetables can change in character. With side by side tastings you will be able to discern the subtle differences (or not so subtle) that an ingredient brings to the table. 

No more blaming poorly written recipes or yourself. This series will help you to not only increase your dexterity in executing the latest recipes but also develop the expertise to navigate those inevitable kitchen mishaps.
