Hello again
Now that I have a moment more, I will also add something. There is a saying
among those who cook (doesnt have to be a chef always),
that the first time you make something, is the best time................even
if you don't know what your doing. It just seems to work out when your
making something completely new (DQ)!!
Concerning tension in food: Food is quite similar to music, due to a few
factors. You make a dish to have contrasting flavours, not too many that
you cant tell whats in it(although sometimes i like that), it has a main
theme both in flavour, and in appearance. You seek to create coherence ,
as a result of various tensions and harmonies with in the aesthetic, and
tangible.

Hello again!!!
I agree Matt. I chose sweet and sour as an example of SQ-SQ tension, in the
hope of moving beyond, and by analogy to illustrate the whole MoQ. But i did
consider using Indian curry as another example?
Curry uses 5 main ingredients. From this basis emerges a vast repertoire of
dishes, providing a fingerprint for the curry enthusiast. Everyone makes their
own individual curry - finely balancing the measures and discovering that
illusive high Quality relationship among the tensions. Phworrrrr! I could just go
a nice Vindaloo!
All the best,
Mark
