Description
A principle entry that consolidates David Thompson's approach to tasting throughout the cooking process — not tasting as a final check but tasting as a continuous, active form of attention that guides every addition and every adjustment. Thompson's books are unusual in the degree to which they describe the internal state of the cook's assessment during cooking — the specific questions to ask at each stage, the specific flavour registers to assess, the specific corrections that each imbalance requires. This entry is a consolidation of that principle.
