How Do We Perceive Flavour?
How do we define the word ‘flavour’? Our experts differentiate the words ‘flavour’ and ‘taste’, argue for the power of simplicity over complexity, and delve into the topic of how cocktails can convey flavour.
We explain the importance of external factors in creating flavour memories. From the texture of the bar top, to interior design, and the music playing – there’s much more in play than what’s in the glass.
In our final chapter, we focus on how we communicate flavour. By building our own ‘flavour library’, and choosing the right language to convey these flavours, how do we impart our knowledge onto our guests?
In this episode, we examine how the senses work, and the impact they can have on our perception of flavours. Sight, sound, taste, touch and smell: all five senses need to be considered when working with flavour creation. From London, to Taipei and Seoul, our experts –professors and authors, bartenders and owners – explain how they affect the flavours in our glass.
