Oat cream immediately conjures the evocative embrace of malt and the kiss of starch. But look beneath its obvious sweetness and you'll discover a captivating symphony of softer notes, a whisper of caramel, a hint of milk, and subtle accents reminiscent of wheat that contribute remarkable depth. And the culinary wizardry begins when we seek out partners that allow these notes to truly sing.
To map these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, breaking each one down across 150 flavour dimensions, identifying which notes complement and contrast. Our analysis reveals, for example, how cardamom's pomeloide tones cut through oat cream, and how coconut cream's lactic notes create a surprising synergy with its grainy aroma.

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