The term itself was coined by a Japanese scientist and has only been officially recognized as the fifth (and the most magical) flavor in the 1980s.
There’s sweet, sour, salty, bitter, and there’s umami. If the term ‘umami’ when describing flavor is unfamiliar to you, stop reading and google it immediately. All baking recipes give you exact amounts of ingredients, detailed steps, and techniques, and if you follow it to a T, you will end up with the end product you hoped for. It’s an entirely different story when it comes to baking. With practice, patience, and a bit of general knowledge of different spices and flavor mixing, you will be able to salvage any dish before it reaches the dinner table. So just taste as you cook, taste your dish through its various stages, and adjust when needed. You may love chocolate habanero peppers and enjoy the Scoville heat of 500,000 and up, but most people won’t appreciate such an extreme kick to their taste buds and won’t eat those peppers unless there’s a money prize or they’ve lost some cruel bet. Cooking is forgiving and somewhat subjective. Most recipes are general guidelines, and you can either add more spice if you like it hot or decide not to use one of the ingredients if you particularly dislike it or perhaps are allergic to it. Whenever you follow a new recipe, you should taste and adjust the flavors as you cook.
