The Aromatic Compound Families

The Flavour Thesaurus organises ingredients by their dominant aromatic compound families, revealing which ingredients share fundamental chemistry and therefore combine naturally. This framework allows a cook to reason about substitutions and novel combinations rather than relying on received wisdom.

Overview

A framework for understanding ingredients by their primary aromatic compound class — each class defines an affinity group where ingredients can substitute for, amplify, or complement each other.
