Reflections on Balance

Ken Rubin & Rick Moonen - Reflections on Balance

Recorded

This event was on July 14, 2020

Success in life is all predicated on carving out a formula of balance in your personal and professional life - the same notion of balance holds true for success in the kitchen with building flavor in a dish. Chef Moonen will open the discussion with his definition of balance in cuisine and our environment and then open it up for questions and input. Sweet, sour, bitter, salty, piquant and umami for our palate…and texture, temperature and appearance. When you invite a balanced combination of these elements to a dish, you embrace a full sensory experience, or what Chef Moonen calls 'a party in your mouth.' Just like balanced and regenerative ecosystems are key for a healthy environment, every living thing on our planet is linked to one another. In these inter-connections, we find diversity, new discoveries, opportunity for new directions, and the inherent beauty in the foods we share.
