Awesome food  needs to score top points in how it looks, tastes, feels (in your mouth) and smells  – okay you can usually  leave out how it sounds – although it you are talking apples that ‘crunch’ is important!

I’m sure you’ve had food that gets one of the senses ‘wrong’ and it totally puts you off – for an extreme example try eating mashed potato with blue food colouring and you’ll know what I mean.  Less extreme is a food which tastes good, smells good, looks good but when you eat it the texture is wrong -  gritty or crunchy when it shouldn’t be.

In your Burger Planning Pack there is a great chart that helps you assess your burger – sensory evaluation. When I am trying out recipes I always do taste-tests with a few friends and family to get feedback… (We all have different criteria – my recipes have to pass the sensory tests AND be quick and easy to make too.) So do a few variations with your Burger and see which ranks the best – a few tweaks here and there can make all the difference!
