Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Dried Cranberry

Unlock the perfect flavour pairings for dried cranberry according to data science. Explore unique recipes and discover the hidden mathematics of flavour.

Dried cranberry immediately conjures the evocative embrace of hibiscus and the bracing kiss of sour apple, yet its initial sourness is only the overtone. Beneath lies a tapestry of delicate cherry, polyphenol, and the bright sweetness of raspberry ketone that give it remarkable depth. The key to an exceptional synergy lies in recognising how these accents work together.

To chart these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, each deconstructed across 150 distinct flavour dimensions, pinpointing the notes that best complement this ingredient’s profile. Our analysis reveals, for example, how paprika's capsicum tones infuse with dried cranberry, and how beef's bovine notes create a surprising synergy with its bright sweetness.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. acidic, floral, and nectarous) enhanced by layers of subtle aroma notes (outer bars). When pairing ingredients, aim for a mix of core traits to build balance, and select complementary aroma notes to create harmony.

Unlocking Flavour Combinations

To understand exactly which flavours harmonise, we compiled a database of over 50,000 ingredient pairings commonly used in cooking. We then analysed these pairings, identifying the specific flavour notes that frequently appear together.

The Flavours That Harmonise With Raspberry Notes

Our analysis reveals a strong connection between raspberry and beef flavours. Since dried cranberry has a distinct berry-like flavour, try pairing it with the beefy flavours of beef.

The recipe below provides inspiration for pairing dried cranberry with beef.

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., Dried cranberry), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
