About this session
Great flavor does not start with a recipe. It starts with understanding ingredients.
This hands-on sensory workshop helps people use the ingredients that give food character, from rosemary, basil and thyme to ginger, garlic, cumin and chili. Participants smell, taste, compare and combine them.
There is no cooking and no kitchen is needed. A Workbliss food or nutrition expert brings a curated flavor table to a meeting room or event space.
Everyone leaves with their own flavor combination and a simple guide for using herbs and spices at home.
