In This Episode ...

We start the show talking taste vs. flavor, what makes up great flavor structure, and where does texture play a part? Shout out to Chasay over on the SCFB group for his awesome comment that spurred this discussion.

We discuss an important concept I wish I had included in my Flavor Structure Lecture; a concept I call "Flavor Spectrum".

Then we head on over to the Stella Culinary Forum, to answer rbg1000000's question on stocks versus broths, and possibly offend a few hipsters along the way.

Next, we discuss Loren's black pepper corn sauce, and I walk Michael through how to make a restaurant quality morel mushroom reduction that will go perfect with a steak!

We finish the episode with a trio of questions from SCFB member Sigfried, covering various puree sauce options and approaches, when to use different thickeners in the sauce making process, and the delineation between an emulsion and a puree.
