Judd Eskildsen is the Executive Chef at Proof Artisan Distillers in Downtown Fargo and joined us as we were broadcasting from their tasting room for the street fair!
Judd had a great Foodie Friday book recommendation: a cookbook with unique food combinations, courtesy of… artificial intelligence!
We’ve often wondered why foods taste good together – or what unique flavors might match well, and this book took it to the molecular level.
“The Flavor Matrix”
is a book for home cooks and professional chefs!
Judd, Executive Chef at Proof
As an instructor at one of the world’s top culinary schools, James Briscione thought he knew how to mix and match ingredients. Then he met IBM Watson. Working with the supercomputer to turn big data into delicious recipes, Briscione realized that he (like most chefs) knew next to nothing about why different foods taste good together. That epiphany launched him on a quest to understand the molecular basis of flavor—and it led, in time, to The Flavor Matrix.
A groundbreaking ingredient-pairing guide, The Flavor Matrix shows how science can unlock unheard-of possibilities for combining foods into astonishingly inventive dishes. Briscione distills chemical analyses of different ingredients into easy-to-use infographics, and presents mind-blowing recipes that he’s created with them. The result of intensive research and incredible creativity in the kitchen, The Flavor Matrix is a must-have for home cooks and professional chefs alike: the only flavor-pairing manual anyone will ever need.
