There’s something divine about a dish that combine more than just one taste sensation. A balance many cultures strive for. And one that we often overlook with heavy meals and thick sauces. A simple fine mix of sweet and savory go a long way when you are looking to really create a dining experience that people truly enjoy. It’s something that makes you slow down and savor the minor delicacies of the blend and how well they all come together. Something we should attempt to build dishes around from time to time. Take a big step back from the heavy thick meals we are used to and break things down into simple, easily distinguished flavors, to create a story within out dish.
Apple and Onion combine to set the stage.
