ABOUT ARIELLE JOHNSON
Arielle Johnson is a flavor scientist. (Literally, she’s so obsessed with flavor, she got a PhD in it). While running the original Noma fermentation lab in Copenhagen and, later, as science officer for Good Eats, it became clear that science had figured out a ton about flavor that was incredibly useful for chefs and cooks—but most of it was indecipherable to someone without a PhD.
She got down to work writing (and developing dozens of recipes, and illustrating) Flavorama: a guide to unlocking the art and science of flavor. Covering everything from alcohol infusions to Zanthoxylum armatum (Sichuan peppercorn), it’s an accessible, mind-expanding primer that inspired this collaboration with similarly flavor-obsessed friends at Burlap & Barrel.
