Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Court Bouillon

Top flavour pairings and court bouillon recipes, revealed through the hidden methmatics of flavour.

Court bouillon instantly conjures the evocative embrace of vinegar and the kiss of celery, yet its initial saltiness is only the overtone. Beneath lies a tapestry of subtle iodine, whispers of basil, and the earthy herbalness of thyme. These are the notes that lend it such remarkable, resonant depth. And the alchemy of the kitchen begins when we seek out pairings that allow these notes to truly sing.

To illuminate these harmonies, we embarked on an ambitious journey, analysing thousands of ingredients. Each was meticulously deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, allowing us to pinpoint precisely which notes complement in both classic and unexpected ways. Our findings reveal, for instance, how grapeseed oil's hexenal tones can carry court bouillon, or how borage flower's hexenal notes create an unexpectedly harmonious bridge with the sharp acidity.

An ingredient's flavour stems from its core characteristics, such as vegetal, herbal, or acidic, combined with layers of subtle flavour notes (outer bars). For a balanced dish, pair ingredients with a variety of core flavours, and choose complementary aroma notes for harmony.

Flavour Pairing Method

To understand how flavour notes harmonise, we analysed more than 50,000 popular ingredient combinations. By exploring these pairings, we identified specific flavour notes that frequently occur together, indicating they share a harmonious relationship.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Acetic Notes

Our analysis shows that the flavour of vinegar is strongly associated with the flavour of grass. This suggests we should look for ingredients with a grassy flavour, such as borage flower, when pairing with the vinegary accents of court bouillon.

The recipe below provides inspiration for pairing court bouillon with borage flower.

How Flavonomics Works

We've pioneered a unique, data-driven approach to decode the intricate art of flavour pairing. Our goal is to move beyond intuition and uncover the science of why certain ingredients harmonise beautifully. This rigorous methodology allows us to provide you with insightful and reliable pairing recommendations.

Our analysis begins with over 50,000 carefully selected recipes from acclaimed chefs like Galton Blackiston, Marcello Tully, and Pierre Lambinon. This premium dataset ensures our model distils genuine culinary excellence and creativity.

Each ingredient from these recipes is deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, creating a unique numerical "flavour fingerprint." This quantification allows us to apply advanced analytical methods to identify complex patterns between flavour notes.

We identify popular ingredient combinations that frequently appear in our recipe database. Regression analysis is then performed on these pairings to statistically validate and pinpoint truly harmonious flavours.

These insights drive our predictive model, which allows us to take any ingredient (e.g., Court bouillon), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
