Wow.

Today I fell in love.

I found an amazing website which pairs foods together, but based on their scientific properties. I have a flavour thesaurus which I adore, but that pairs things on taste alone. Foodpairing scientifically analyses the flavour components of ingredients and matches them up with ingredients with similar components. After 5 years of research, they launched their website which allows subscribers to enter ingredients and see what its perfect match is. I had a play around, and it told me that tomato sauce and strawberry and banana is a perfect match! I might have to have a play around in the kitchen and see what recipe I can create that includes all 3 ingredients ... This could get interesting!
It turns out heaps of cocktail makers and chefs use it - including Burch and Purchese of the Sweet Studio in South Yarra, which I just adore.
