Food Pairing Diagrams Foodpairing is a web site with an unusual
premise: it seeks to visually describe the flavor relationships
between a set of foods. By analyzing a set of 250 food products'
flavors (or rather, the chemicals that make up those flavors),
the site is able to demonstrate flavor in a sort of relational
tree. Here's a partial view of the Basil diagram: Here's a bit
more information about the site: - FOOD IS INTERCHANGEABLE - A
food product has a specific flavour because of a combination of
different flavours. Like basil taste like basil because of the
combination of linalool, estragol, "¦. So if I want to
reconstruct the basil flavour without using any basil, you have
to search for a combination of other food products where one
contains linalool (like coriander), one contains estragol (like
tarragon),... So I can reconstruct basil by combining coriander,
tarragon, cloves, laurel. The way to use it is to take from each
branch of the plot one product and make a combination of those
food products.
