Perfect Pairings & Recipes for
Vegetable Broth

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

Vegetable broth immediately conjures the embrace of glutamate and the kiss of celery, but beneath its umaminess lies a complex symphony of subtle flavour notes, such as onion, garlic, and hints of chlorophyll that give it remarkable depth. The key to a remarkable synergy lies in knowing how these notes work together.

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 Colonnata bacon's porcine tones can enrich vegetable broth, or how porcini mushroom's boletic notes create an unexpectedly harmonious bridge with the crisp vegetal notes.

An ingredient's flavour profile is determined by its core characteristics (e.g. vegetal, herbal, and earthy) 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.

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