re: How to make your food taste DAMN good

Add Acid for "High Notes":
Acidic flavors are often described as "bright", and contrast well with the umami bass notes. Ingredients like citrus juices, vinegars, fruits, and wines will add an extra dimension of flavor to a dish. Of course, on its own, sour is an unappealing taste and if you use too much you can ruin a dish. So, use the trusty old "taste as you go" technique to add just enough acid to make your dish sing.
