Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Onion
Exquisite onion flavour pairings and recipes, revealed through data science.
Pungent aroma and sulfurous notes are at the forefront of onion's flavour profile, but identifying its perfect partner requires exploring its subtle nuances. We need to study the complex interplay of notes that reside within its bouquet, such as caramel, garlic, and hints of molasses, and understand how the notes affect each other and which notes they go well with.

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