Visiting Chef at GCI
On Monday August 10th, Chef John Reed CEC, CCA owner of Customized Culinary Solutions spent the day at the Goodwill Culinary Institute (GCI) located at Great Lakes Naval Base located north of Chicago. As part of the GCI’s Visiting Chefs Program, Chef Reed conducted two demonstrations and tastings for the students of the program. The subject was Taste and Flavor Development and focused on how student culinarians can learn to properly taste and develop a personal flavor palette. Goals included how we taste, flavor compounds, sources for sweet, sour, salt and bitter from both applied culinary techniques and proper selection of ingredients.
