Ingredient Analysis

One page per ingredient, each an assessment written with Mode 5 (ingredient analysis) of the fruit-maillard-prep skill: what the ingredient contributes, which flavour axes it serves or suppresses, which preparation stage it belongs to, its handling traps and a verdict. Some confirm an ingredient, some rule one out; both are worth keeping.

The chemistry behind the assessments is in Cooked Fruit (Maillard) Preparations. To see what is in stock or worth buying, go to the Larder.
