Palate + • learn how the palate communicates with the brain • training to connect the experience to the flavor • remembering flavors and logging with how • learning why it tastes the way it does • being able to analyze and recreate • develop benchmarks

method + • master technique • each delivers a result at varying levels of intensity • texture is derived and causes realization • offers a vast variety of variance in experience • creates expectations

how • experimentation • tried and true • variation on a theme • straight forward • the creative process
