- The general consensus: Yes! "We actually teach that right from the beginning — that cuts add different palatability," says Brendan Walsh, dean of culinary arts at the Culinary Institute of America. But the reasons that a particular cut affects flavor are complicated, and sometimes mysterious even to restaurant critics, chefs and food scientists.

Why is salt important to flavor?
“Salt is the most essential seasoning — without it, everything you cook will taste flat,” says Kamozawa. “Even if we eliminate all other seasonings, it’s possible to make a delicious meal seasoning with salt alone.”
Five principles of salting
1. There’s a fine line between the perfect amount of salt and too much, but don’t be afraid to risk over-salting — that’s the only way to learn where the line is. 2. Some salts taste saltier than others. This is true of different types (kosher, sea, table) and even different brands.

Workout: applying salt
Seasoning food isn’t just a question of how much salt to add, but also how to apply it. In this exercise, we salt three pork chops three ways, then cook and taste them to see how each method affects the meat’s texture, flavor, and juiciness.
How do you brighten flavor?
If a dish has enough salt and still tastes flat, it’s often because it needs a mouthwatering burst of acidity — think of a squeeze of lemon on a piece of fish, or vinegary pickles on a sandwich. If a dish is too acidic, the way to achieve balance is to add fat or sugar to mute the sourness.
Acid thesaurus
The following words all describe acidity in food: sour, tangy, vinegary, bright, sharp.
Two ways to add acid to food
1. Add lemon or lime juice for a clean, fresh flavor; citrus is especially good with other fruits, fish, and raw or cooked vegetables. 2. Add vinegar. There are so many different options and each has its own character, from the sweet-sour taste of balsamic to the crisp, fruity taste of white wine vinegar and the aged, oaky notes of red wine vinegar.
How do you make food more interesting?
Once a dish is seasoned with salt and has just the right acidity level, the next step is to give it some character, such as a fresh accent from herbs or the warmth of spices.

Sautéed mushrooms have a savory, earthy flavor but are otherwise relatively neutral. Here, we divide the sautéed mushrooms into bowls and then flavor each one with either fresh herbs, lemon zest, or crème fraîche, observing how each enhances the flavor of the mushrooms.
