    Pairing Food with Spirits

    Pairing food with spirits is an art, not a science. The idea is to try and complement their flavors, or provide a contrast between the them.

    I've paired food for scotch and whiskey tastings I've attended, and it's fun to tease out what flavors I want to highlight (like at this Balblair and Old Pulteney tasting) or contrast (like at this Springbank Scotch tasting). Sometimes I even use the spirit in the food itself, to create a bridge between the two, like with White Wine Cheesecake.

    Explore with me some pairings of food and spirits I've done.

    Profile picture - Tammy, July 2019 square

    Hi, I'm Tammy! My fascination with baking comes from my love of science and the magic of bringing together ingredients to produce something yummy. Coupling that with my appreciation of scotches and bourbons, I love to bake stuff, jot down my whisky tasting notes, and share my experiences with you!
