Ramp immediately conjures the embrace of garlic and the bracing kiss of sulfur, but beneath its sweetness lies a complex symphony of subtle flavour notes, such as onion, grass, and hints of petrichor, giving it remarkable depth. The key to a truly exceptional synergy lies in knowing how these elements harmonise and interact.
To map these harmonies, we analysed thousands of ingredients, breaking each one down across 150 flavour dimensions, identifying which notes complement and contrast. Our findings reveal, for instance, how beef mince's ferrous tones can ground ramp, or how risotto rice's starchy notes create an unexpectedly harmonious bridge with the intense 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., Ramp), analyse its detailed flavour profile, and accurately reveal its complementary flavours and perfect ingredient partners.
