Bob Tastes.
Ingredient exploration with Robert Meyers-Lussier: the first impression, the description, and the question of what to cook next.
What does it actually taste like?
In Bob Tastes, Robert explores unfamiliar ingredients on video and describes his own sensory experience. The language starts with something recognizable and becomes a way into cooking with the ingredient.
Ajwain
“Like thyme and oregano had a baby times 5.”
Robert’s first impression gives viewers a familiar reference for an unfamiliar ingredient. Follow the tasting, then consider how you would describe what you notice.
Wattleseed
The tasting explored wattleseed plain, with butter, and with honey. Comparing contexts turns a first impression into a more useful cooking question.
Watch with a question.
- Which comparisons help you imagine the flavor?
- What does the tasting make you want to investigate?
- What role could the ingredient play in a dish you know?
