  • Summary

  • We’re back with another episode in our Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat series, and this week it’s all about Acid! Acid is the unsung hero of flavor - it brightens, balances, and brings depth to your dishes.

    In this episode, we dive into the science of acid in cooking (and how it shocked us!), how it affects the color and texture of foods, and why it's called salt's "alter ego".

    You’ll also learn:

    • The most common types of acid used in cooking
    • How to layer acid for a flavor-balanced meal
    • Why acid is key to elevating even the simplest dishes

    And as always, we wrap up with a few Dinner Dilemmas - real questions from you about meal planning and home cooking.
