Flavoring techniques are methods used to enhance the taste of food and beverages. Common techniques include marinating, where ingredients are soaked in a mixture of spices, herbs, and acids to infuse flavor, and seasoning, which involves adding salt, pepper, or other spices during cooking. Another technique is roasting, which caramelizes the natural sugars in food, intensifying its flavor. Additionally, infusing involves steeping herbs or spices in liquids to extract their flavors, commonly used in making oils or teas. These techniques can transform simple dishes into flavorful meals.
