Discussing The Five Flavors: Bitter, Sweet, Sour, Savory & WHAT????

Welcome to a fascinating conversation about taste - where it comes from, how we discover it and how we enjoy it. 

My guest is Jehanne Dubrow, a published poet, Professor of Creative Writing at the University of North Texas and author of a new creative nonfiction book called ‘Taste: A Book of Small Bites’ coming out in August.  

We discuss the five flavors: bitter, sweet, sour, savory, and guess the fifth one! 

I recommend reading ‘Taste’ to all the people in food industry - chefs, servers, bar tenders, because readying this book will help you sell more food! 

“No one else can tell us what we like. We must learn our taste for ourselves.” - Jehanne Dubrow
