    Garlic....yuk

    In many dishes, garlic is as essential to me as salt and pepper. In those dishes I am not after a noticeable garlic flavor, or aroma. What I try to accomplish is a background flavor. Something subtle, to support and enhance the flavors of the dish.

    How to measure zest?

    I measure it like herbs. I make sure there is not any empty space, but I don't push it hard and pack it in. A soft push is ok.

    Herbs: basil, parsley, etc..

    If fats interfere with crystallization, and so does corn syrup (right?), then why would I need to add "twice as much corn syrup" if I am using fats? For flavor purposes? Or science purposes? Thanks :chef:
