The Art of Taste: Elevating Food Beyond Cooking Many of us live to eat, while others eat to live. In both cases, taste is essential. Good food brings joy and satisfaction, but what truly makes food taste good? There are two key aspects to consider: the inherent flavors and fragrances of the food items. For example, biting into a ripe, sweet apple is a delightful experience—the juices and aromas enhance your sensory enjoyment. The visual appeal of food plays a significant role too; when food looks, smells, and tastes good, it creates a holistic experience. This principle applies to both raw and cooked food: it must first look great, then smell enticing, and finally, taste amazing. There are two approaches to achieve this: 1. Traditional Cooking: While cooking enhances flavors, it often comes at the cost of losing nutrients, vitamins, natural flavors, colors, and textures. We tend to add spices, condiments, and garnishes to compensate, enhancing taste, aroma, and visual appeal. Even processed foods rely on added flavors and visual enhancements to look and taste good. 2. Minimal Cooking:This approach focuses on cooking just enough to make food soft, edible, and digestible while preserving its natural vitamins, nutrients, colors, textures, and structures. Think of it like a slightly cooked apple—digestible, microbe-free, yet retaining its natural fragrances and textures. Historically, Indian cooking has involved extensive boiling to eliminate microbes and infuse spices. However, as our world evolves, so do our needs. With advancements in medicine and improved immunity, it's time to embrace minimal cooking, preserving the food's natural qualities while still enhancing it with spices and fragrances. This approach blends the best of both worlds, offering a natural and enriched eating experience. As we continue to innovate in the kitchen, let's shift towards cooking methods that honor the integrity of our ingredients, making our food not just a meal, but an experience. 🍏🌿 And you can do that with on2cook! #on2cook #FoodForThought #MinimalCooking #CulinaryInnovation #HealthyEating #TasteMatters

In 2024, beverage trends are set to captivate consumers with a focus on wellness, sustainability, and innovative flavours. Functional beverages are gaining popularity as they offer added benefits like mental clarity and stress relief through ingredients such as adaptogens and CBD. Zero-proof cocktails and low-alcohol drinks are becoming mainstream, catering to those seeking health-conscious choices without sacrificing flavour. Sustainability is at the forefront with drinks crafted from upcycled ingredients, emphasising eco-conscious consumption. Floral and herbal infusions bring delicate, aromatic profiles to both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, while the bubble tea scene evolves with unique flavours and healthier ingredients. Complex flavoured seltzers are moving beyond traditional fruit tastes, incorporating spices and botanicals for a more intricate experience. Enhanced coffees and teas now feature health-boosting additions like protein and collagen, along with regional flavours that add a unique twist. Cultural and heritage-inspired drinks tap into traditional recipes, offering authentic experiences with beverages like agua frescas and Indian rose lassis. Customisation is key, as consumers seek personalised drink experiences through DIY stations and interactive ordering. Nitro beverages are expanding beyond coffee, with nitro-infused teas, cocktails, and mocktails delivering a creamy texture and frothy appearance. Overall, these trends emphasise a desire for wellness, sustainability, and a diverse range of flavours in the beverage world. #DrinkTrends #BubbleTea #Coffee #Infusion #Mocktails #Sustainability #NitroInfused #Cocktails
