Simple Food Pairing Advice ~ foods that taste good together

There is a science to food pairing – molecular gastronomy, the study of the physical and chemical attributes of ingredients and how they react to each other. Read even more about this here – foodpairing.

It is interesting but I am not going to bother either you or myself with the scientific details!  Nor is this about combining foods for diet or health reasons – just deliciousness!

All I hope to do here is to help with cooking spontaneously and creatively by listing suggestions as to what goes well with what, foodwise.

See here for advice on How to Season to Taste.
