Flavor: The Essence of Creativity with Adrian Ciaurriz

How does flavor work? Why does something taste “right,” while some combinations are just too peculiar or bland to enjoy?

Flavor is everything to us. It’s the sharpest tool we have for creating memorable desserts. But we understand so little about it.

Adrian Ciaurriz studied, worked, and taught in one of the places where flavor was not just an intuition, but a topic of scientific and creative research: Espaisucre (the world’s first dessert-only restaurant).

From Chocolate Academy (Barcelona) to now Noma, Adrian explores the science of flavor with each bonbon, confection, or plated dessert he creates.

In this Online-Live class, he gives you the tools to go beyond established ideas about which ingredients “just go well together” as he invites you to take thought-out creative risks with the flavors of your desserts!

The core of this class is to understand how sweetness interacts with other tastes, textures and aromas based on Chef Adrian’s experience with Espaisucre’s flavor system and his own delicious experiments.

Chef Ciaurriz will also give you deconstrustructed examples of desserts he’s created to show you how you can apply his methods to your creative process.

Invent sweets that taste and feel balanced, ingenious, and that show how well you know your ingredients.
