Y1.U5.2 Getting Ready to Cook
2
What is Mise en Place Proper knife use
Difference between seasoning and flavoring Basic pre-preparation technique
3
Mise En Place French for “put in place”
Refers to the preparation and assembly of ingredients, pans, utensils, equipment, or serving pieces needed for a particular dish or service. Requires planning Needed because Too much to do at last minute Food is best immediately after preparation
4
Mise- step by step 1. Identify each ingredient and piece of equipment needed to prepare, finish and hold each item for service. Preferably the night before. (Read recipe). 2. Prepare a timeline: what needs to be done (steps), what order (prioritize), how much time for each step. Attention to detail. 3. Assemble workstation (cutting board, containers/sanitation), tools, ingredients, 4. Preform advance preparation consistent with providing the best possible product. Store to prevent time-temperature abuse, nutrient/moisture loss. 5. During service balance need to work quickly and the need to provide safe, high quality food. 6. After service, clean station, store leftovers appropriately. 7. Review. What went well, what could be improved.

Objectives Understand basic principles of physiology of taste and smell Recognize a variety of herbs, spices, oils, vinegars, and other flavorings Understand how to use ingredients to create, enhance or alter the natural flavor of a dish Appreciate the flavor principles in a variety of cuisines.
13
Flavors FLAVOR: combination of tastes, aromas, and other sensations caused by the presence of a foreign substance in the mouth TASTE: sensations detected when a substance comes in contact with the taste buds MOUTHFEEL: sensation created in the mouth by a combination of a food’s taste, smell, texture and temperature AROMAS: odors that enter the nose or float up through the back of the mouth PALATE: compendium of flavors and ability to recognize them
17
Tastes SWEET: comes from naturally occurring sugars, or by adding sweetener. Varies greatly. Can be enhanced with small amount of sour, salt or bitter. The less consumed the more we can taste it. SOUR: acidic foods (ex: sour cream to lemon). SALTY: except oysters/shellfish/seaweed salty comes from the cook’s decision to add sodium chloride. Salt heightens and enhances flavor. BITTER: alkaloids. Acquired taste. Beer, dark chocolate, cabbage. Offset by salt or sugar can go from unpleasant to delicious.
18
Tastes UMAMI: savory, rich fullness, meaty. Naturally occurring amino acid glutamate (or MSG). Cheeses, meats, rich stocks, shellfish, fatty fish (anchovy/Worcestershire), aged/fermented foods (soy sauce). Pungent: spicy hot.
19
Factors Affecting Perception
TEMPERATURE: warm temperatures offer the strongest tastes. (cheese). Foods tend to loose sweet and sour tastes colder and hotter. Salt is stronger when very cold. Adjust at serving temperature, season hot foods when hot and cold foods cold. CONSISTENCY: the same product with a different texture will differ in perceived intensity. Presence of CONTRASTING TASTES: sugar to vinaigrette, lemon on lobster, sweet/sour/salty to bitter.
20
Factors Affecting Perception
Presence of FATS: during cooking many taste compounds are dissolved in fats, slowly released they provide a sustained taste sensation. This is lost if too little fat. Too much fat will coat the tongue and interfere with taste. Color: affects perception, expectation. Sound: crunch. Can be compromised by age, health, smoking.
21
Taste Buds Supertasters Medium tasters Nontasters
22
Flavor Profile Elements
Top Notes or High Notes: sharp first flavors or aromas (citrus, herb, spice, condiment). Instant impact and dissipate quickly. Middle Notes: second wave, more subtle, more lingering. (dairy, poultry, some veg, fish meat). Low or Bass Notes: dominate, lingering. From basic tastes: sweet, sour… (anchovy, bean, chocolate, dried mushroom, fish sauce, tomato, meats). Or from smoking or caramelizing.
23
Flavor Profile Elements
Aftertaste or Finish: final flavor after swallowing. Roundness: unity of flavor. Depth of Flavor: broad range of flavor notes.
24
Seasoning & Flavor Seasoning Flavor
Enhances the flavor of an item without changing the primary flavor of a dish Salt Pepper Sugars Acids The way a food tastes Flavoring can enhance or bring another flavor to the product- (change the flavor) Herbs Spices Extracts Fruits/Vegetables Aromatic liquids Cured foods
25
Seasoning An item added to enhance the natural flavors of a food without dramatically changing its taste
26
Salt The most basic and commonly used seasoning Preserves foods
Heightens flavors Tasted easily but not smelled Suppresses bitter flavors Makes sweet and sour flavors more prominent
