Technical
Involves the Maillard reaction, a chemical reaction between amino acids and reducing sugars that occurs when cooking proteins and carbohydrates, resulting in browning and the formation of new flavor compounds. Emulsification is also a key process, combining two or more liquids that don't normally mix, such as oil and water, using an emulsifier like soy lecithin or egg yolks.
