Memories, gateways to experience great food. Multisensorial experiences is a trend in contemporary gastronomy. A unique way to create these experiences is to trigger ones forgotten memories. These memories are personal and therefore the experience will be different for each of us. Imagine when you where a child, making a sunday morning walk on the beach with your parents; There is just enough sun to warm your face, waves collapsing and the sand shifting beneath your feet, the wind and the salty smell hits your face... Imagine playing as a kid in the forest where your granddad just cutted some trees. The smell of fresh cut pine... The following pages have one objective, to inspire chefs to create memories. Sense for Taste and Sosa offer chefs two recipes created by means of the foodpairing method (TM) and carried out with premium ingredients from Sosa. The look & feel of the dish, the sound of the bite, the colours and the setting will lead to a happy client with a refreshed memory to a great moment. Sense for Taste Sosa 2 3
What is foodpairing? Foodpairing is a method for identifying what foods go well together. The method is based on the principal that foods combine well with one another when they have key flavour components in common. Almond Peanut roaster Peanut oil Malt Basmati rice Algae Mushroom Broccoli Artichoke Cucumber How does foodpairing work? Once the flavour components of a particular food are analysed, they are compared to a database of several hundred other foods & drinks and the results are represented graphically on a foodpairing tree. The chosen food, for example oyster is placed at the centre of the tree and surrounded by the best matches. The length of the branch from the centre to the category is not important, but within each category, the shorter the branch,the better the match to the chosen food. For example peppermint fits a bit better with oyster than basil. Check out more ingredients at www.foodpairing.be.

Sometimes the combinations suggested by a foodpairing tree can be as surprising as they are delicious. Which means foodpairing can lead food professionals in entirely new directions as they express their creativity.
