A Chef's Tasting Menu is designed to offer a diverse and balanced flavor profile, ranging from delicate and subtle to rich and intense. Textures are equally important, varying from smooth purees to crispy components.
The flavor and ingredient profiles are entirely dependent on the chef's vision, the season, and the availability of local ingredients. Expect a progression of flavors that can include: Bright acidity from citrus or vinegars, earthy notes from mushrooms or root vegetables, umami from aged cheeses or cured meats, sweetness from fruits or desserts, and heat from spices or peppers. Textures could involve creamy mousses, crunchy tuiles, tender meats, and crisp vegetables.
