Why it works
The flavor-pairing hypothesis proposes that ingredients sharing significant aromatic compounds harmonize on the palate. Squash, summer, crookneck, boiled, drained and Squash, winter, all varieties, cooked, baked, with salt overlap on 3 key compound(s), which is why classic culinary traditions, and our deterministic matching algorithm, place them together.
