Flavored

Flavored started from a simple frustration I kept running into while cooking: most tools either give you recipes to follow or shortcuts to results, but very few help you understand why flavors actually work. When I tried to improve my own cooking, the biggest gains didn’t come from new recipes — they came from learning how flavor is built over time: when to add ingredients, how techniques change taste, and how balance and contrast develop. I built Flavored as an experiment to support that kind of thinking. It’s not meant to replace intuition or creativity, but to help cooks reason more clearly about flavor development and technique. This is an early beta and very much a work in progress. I’d love feedback from anyone who cares about cooking, learning, or building better mental models — what’s missing, what’s confusing, and what you’d want to see next.
