Recipe testing came by way of Chef Catherine McConkie who has phenomenally sharp taste buds and a very cute tiny kitchen overlooking the water. As it turns out taste acuity is a skill that can (thankfully) be developed. We were testing recipes for Rebecca Katz’s new cookbook and Catherine could tell to a *pinch* if a recipe needed a little salt or maple or cayenne or cumin or whatever. She taught me how to tweak a recipe until we got to the mmmm point…you know when you taste something and have that reaction.
