Effects of hot and cold dishes

Stephen Harris, the chef and owner of The Sportsman in Kent (one of the best restaurants in the UK), recently told about the thought that goes into a variety of food textures me, the contrast between sweet and salty and sour cream or " taste eco "where the flavor is repeated in another part of a dish. It was always different elements that can animate "bounce around the mouth." Contrast is the key. My home cooked food is not complex, but I often think the opposite - and able to perform different contrasts in a balanced whole - is essentially what is all about cooking.

What is not generally consider a temperature contrast. He is widely regarded as a kind of child emotion: Baked Alaska, ice cream sundae with hot fudge sauce ... They are very simple pleasures, but I think it has always been "necessary efforts," an imbalance and "derivative" when Baked Alaska. Chefs often play joy with temperature, mainly due to the salty ice. I ate a hot cucumber soup with sherry vinegar-laced tomato sorbet Spain and smoked haddock risotto with mustard ice cream by chef John Campbell. then there was the "air" Parmesan El Bulli has to moderate in the second frozen "hot tea and ice", Heston Blumenthal, Alice in Wonderland crazy flat.

I started thinking about the reciprocal of the temperature in the kitchen of the house, as I work on my book on healthy eating. One of the reasons why I love Middle Eastern food is cold yogurt is often the easiest way instead of spicy hot dishes such as grilled lamb or roasted tomato harissa (I make a yogurt soup that also added hot chili fried rice and spicy warm onions on end) cold.

Not only is the temperature contrast, which is addictive, but the contrast of cold to heat and spices (the food is "hot" in both directions). Some Japanese dishes also available. One of my favorite recipes (it is on the website of the Telegraph) is chicken Japanese ginger with cucumber Gesteinigt was then served chilled in the coldest part of the refrigerator, and I recently had a Thai dish of grilled chicken with ice cream Hot oil and cucumber dressing with chili and ginger flavored. It is not complicated, but Heston always bite caused a double take. They react not only taste but also mouth-shock.

The courts below with this game, if your temperature contrast cold cream on a baked potato in a hot oven experience, there are new pleasures.
