Food Flavours

I have always been interested in world food flavours. For example, what makes Italian food Italian or Indonesian food Indonesian?

Elizabeth Rozin, author of Ethnic Cuisine: How to Create the Authentic Flavors of Over 30 International Cuisines, proposes an idea. She contends that the most crucial element in ethnic cuisine is the flavoring. Flavoring is what separates or defines one cuisine from another. Putting soy sauce for example in a dish makes the food in some sense Oriental as other non-Oriental cultures don’t use soy sauce. She calls these combinations flavor principles. These images attempt to summarize these flavor principles through still life images. In following articles, I will be talking about these global flavour principles in more depth. Stay tuned.
