Partners in the kitchen

A perfect partnership: homemade ginger crunch and a latte. Image: Su Leslie, 2016

One of the definitions of partner offered by the Merriam-Webster dictionary is:

one of two or more people, businesses, etc., that work together or do business together

Perhaps one shouldn’t talk about foodstuffs being “in partnership”, but it is true that some combinations of food flavours, textures and even colours work well together.

Cheese and onion, dark chocolate and orange, fish and chips. Some combinations are common-place; others may be more a matter of personal taste.

Here are some food partnerships you’ll find in my kitchen.
