Question? Why do you eat?

Seasoning VS. Flavoring Seasoning: enhancing the natural flavor of the food with out significantly changing its flavor. Flavoring: adding a new flavor to food, thus changing or modifying the original flavor. Basic Rule: Your main ingredient is always your main source of flavor. Use good quality ingredients, handle with care, and use correct cooking methods.

Seasoning Four basic types of seasoning ingredients: Salt Pepper Acid Sugar When should you season? Liquid foods (reduced liquids) – at the end Large pieces of food (meats, vegetables) – at the beginning or during the cooking process

Question? How many milligrams of sodium does the average American consume in one day? How many milligrams of sodium are recommended daily?

Answer 3,400 mg The average American gets about 3,400 mg of sodium a day — much more than recommended. Here are the main sources of sodium in a typical diet: Processed and prepared foods. The vast majority of sodium in the typical American diet comes from foods that are processed and prepared. 1,500mg – 2,300mg

Flavoring Types of flavorings: When should you add flavoring? Herbs Spices Extracts Fruits and vegetables Aromatic liquids Cured foods When should you add flavoring? Beginning, middle and the end of the cooking process

Common Seasoning and Flavoring Ingredients Salt Pepper Whole/crushed black pepper Ground white pepper Green peppercorns Red pepper/cayenne Lemon juice Fresh herbs Onion, garlic, shallots Wine, brandy, and other alcoholic beverages Prepared mustards Rind of lemon or oranges MSG (monosodium glutamate)

What is MSG? MSG is a flavor enhancer traditionally used in Chinese food, but found today in many foods like breakfast sausages and potato chips. MSG comes in many processed foods and snacks. Effects related to MSG, including burning sensations of the mouth, head and neck, weakness of the arms or legs, headaches and upset stomach approximately 15 minutes after the MSG is consumed [Source: Metcalfe].

Herbs and Spices Herbs: the leaves of certain plants that usually grow in temperate climates What are some common herbs? Spices: the buds, fruits, flowers, bark, seeds, and roots of plants and trees, many of which grow in tropical climates What are some common spices?

Herb Combinations Fines Herbs – this is a traditional French mixture of 4 fresh or dried herbs including parsley, chervil, chives and tarragon. This tastes good in fresh salads and egg dishes. Herbs de Provence – this is a mixture of Mediterranean herbs, combining thyme, oregano, rosemary and savory. This can be added to pizza, stews, grilled dishes and baked vegetables for an aromatic touch. Bouquet Garni – this is a classic combination of several herbs simmered in dishes as they cook. It combines rosemary, thyme, parsley and bay leaves for a mixture that can be used in cooking fish, beef, lamb and pork.

Ratio Fresh Herbs to Dried Herbs Dried herbs are generally more potent and concentrated than fresh herbs 3 portions of fresh herb = 1 portion of dried herb

Herb and Spice Storage Spices and dried herbs should be sealed tight and in dark, cool place. Heat, light, and air will speed up the loss of flavor and color Herbs should be kept under refrigeration and wrapped in a damp paper towel The shelf life of spices and herbs Whole spices: 4 years Ground spices: 2 to 3 years Dried herbs: 1 to 3 years Fresh Herbs: N/A

Questions? What is meant by “adjust the seasoning”? What is wrong with adding caraway seed to a portion of goulash (a stew) just before serving? When would you want to add fresh herbs?
