Author’s rub: creation and balancing of flavors
Do you want to take your dishes to the next level? Discover how to turn a simple spice mix into an explosion of flavor, learning to layer flavors to achieve a unique aromatic profile that will surprise even the most discerning palates.
In this masterclass, you will be guided step by step to create unique rubs that can make a difference in any recipe. It’s not just about mixing ingredients, but understanding how each element contributes to creating a perfect balance. You will explore the role of salt, sweetness, acidity, umami, and spice in rubs, understanding why each element matters and how to use it to its fullest potential. You will learn how each layer of flavor overlaps with others to create depth and complexity, mastering specific techniques to balance flavors and avoid excesses or imbalances that could compromise the final result.
You will learn to distinguish between immediate, middle, and lingering flavors, thanks to layering, starting with the first layer using salt as a base to build everything else. Then, you will continue with the flavor layering through sugar to add sweetness and balance, followed by the layering of umami to create a rich and enveloping taste. You will dive into the layering of spices, learning to choose and dose each ingredient properly to create a harmonious mix, and finally, the layering of spice to give character to your dishes without overpowering the other flavors.
