Preview: Flavour & Beverage Development Course
Added 2024-02-02 15:20:39 +0000 UTCThis is a quick update to show you the curriculum I've assembled for the flavour and beverage development course. It should be done in the next two weeks, as there are only six more videos to make. And yes, most of these lessons are video-based, and there will be about 30 videos in total, with associated text and other reference material. It is a comprehensive start to developing a flavour and creating a beverage.
This course aims to allow you to create your flavour without hiring a consultant. The fact is beverage development consultants overcharge because this information is not easily available. The key problem, beyond cost, is that consultants have their own taste biases, and unless you just want a variation of what they've already developed, then you'll probably be disappointed with their formula.
As the old adage goes: "If you want something done right, do it yourself." This course is designed to allow you to do just that.
