Get to know your tastebuds

Lean into your senses to understand what you're tasting and how you're tasting it.

Ask yourself some questions: Where does the flavor hit your tongue? Do you feel the heat from something spicy? What do you smell? Does the smell impact what you taste? Does the bite you just took feel creamy or silky in your mouth? Does the dish taste bland or is it popping with the flavor of the tomatoes you added?

As you start to understand those sensations, you'll be able to figure out what categories of flavors the dish's components fall into: acidic, aromatic, fatty, salty, and sweet.
