The Art Of Flavor Pairing

Tom's Perfect 10: A Few Favorites

Figs: Rich, Sticky, Sweet. Apples: Crisp, Crunchy, Piquant. Together—a perfect flavor equilibrium🧘.

Common molecules or yummy compounds ⚖️. Pairings are both creativity and science. Recognize some of my favorites?

Mango/Chilli

Remember Mangonada? Sliced mango—tossed with lime and sea salt 👅. Choose a Carabao or Ataulfo and add habanero or cayenne. 

Grapefruit/Dark Brown Sugar 

Found at Sadelles. Never forgotten. Broiled grapefruit with caramelized sugar and Maldon sea salt. Just add granola, Sadelles!

Yuzu/Bergamot 

Complex citrus meets bitter bergamot. East marries British tea-time. Shout out to my own tea flavor—Tea My Dear. 

Dragonfruit/Rose Water 

Ignore it’s fierce name—pair mild dragon fruit carefully. Enter rose water—subtle, quietly floral. Now blend with yogurt and add our Fig and Apple granola!
