Learn all about flavor and how to taste with Mandy Naglich, author of the award-winning book How to Taste. This class is like an interactive lecture that takes participants through all the internal and external attributes of flavor. Every participant will take the “Supertaster Test” to determine if they are a supertaster. Using flavored candies like Skittles or Jelly Belly we’ll discover just how much impact aroma has on general tasting. We’ll parse the environment and how everything from wall paper color to background music shifts flavor perception. Then we’ll move into a guided tasting using the Tasting Method outlined in the book on the venue’s food or drink of choice. Finally, we’ll use the four Cs of pairing to explore why certain flavors work together in a final tasting.
