No longer will you have to say "I dont know how to cook" when you understand appetite. Knowing why instincts and our drive for hunger exist in the first place. This helps us to form a basis for what is desirable in foods as a sort of cooking theory.

Control over the experience of the food we eat belongs to a series of nerves in our tongue; The Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour and Salt Receptors. The mixing of these flavors in varying ways generates the taste that you feel when you eat something. It is impressive how complicated the human body is.

Provoked by the Bitter Receptor the taste of Bitterness is usually a taste that is not enjoyed by most people. Due to poisons usually having a Bitter taste it would seem that this is a defense mechanism to prevent poisoning. Regardless of the dislike by most people, some people do enjoy this flavor and it is usually brought about with Bay Leaf that can then be used to cook in this flavor.

The Sweet Receptor can be activated by common Sugar and is often a necessity in any fine meal. Humans convert sugar to glucose which is used in all the cells of your body. It can also come from the Carbohydrates that are already contained in the meal that you are cooking.

Activated by Salt the Salt Receptor detects salt in foods that we eat. Salt is needed by every living thing in the world. Oceans are extremely heavy in salt and pure salt usually comes from extraction from seawater.

The Sour taste is provoked by Lemon & Vinegar interaction with our Sour Receptors. The sour taste could be a defense mechanism warding against spoiled food. Vinegar can be used for frying where Lemon is used for mostly vegetable based meals. The Sour flavor conflicts with the Umami flavor and so it is preferable to pick one or the other.

The taste of sour is easily provoked by Lemon & Vinegar. It is thought that this taste is a possible defense mechanism against spoiled food as spoiled food is usually sour. Lemon is used mostly for Vegetable meals where Vinegar can be used for frying. The Umami and Sour flavor seem to conflict with each other so it is best to pick one or the other.

The picture of the taste is a sort of swash of different receptors firing to form what is referred to as taste. An electrical signal is sent from the Taste Receptors by route of the nervous system and then onto your brain. These flavors can be added by any number of different kitchen spices and items beyond those named here.

There can be no limit to what you can create if you put yourself in the mindset of some of the most amazing chefs. They keep in mind this constant taste balance and have perfected it over the multiple years, usually decades. Take on a new exciting and innovative recipes or make your own.

Instead of thinking "I dont know how to cook", when you are cooking you must keep all of these receptors in mind and your own experience of that flavor for yourself. You should almost perceive what you are going to create tastes and smells like before you even put it together. By thinking in terms of what the flavor tastes like first and what the ingredients taste like second you can truly master the art of cooking a delicious meal.
