The Flavor Apprentice Flavoring Thread

[Steven Pye]

This is true in cooking as well. The main flavor in all edible chocolate is vanilla. Pure chocolate is bitter, just taste a pinch of cocoa powder and you will know what I'm talking about. A tiny pinch a cayenne pepper brings out the flavor in chocolate when cooking. If the cayenne pepper addition is minute compared to the batch of chocolate it is not discernible to the palette, but really boost the chocolate flavor. Cinnamon and cardamon also add a richness to chocolate cakes, brownies, and candies. I haven't mixed a batch of juice yet, but I am pondering how closely e-liquid juice flavors follow cooking. I suspect they are similar and this post about vanilla encourages me in that line of thinking.




The key in cooking chocolate is to add these spices but in amounts so small they aren't dictated. I don't add them on a percentage basis but add about 1/16 - 1/8 of a teaspoon to standard chocolate recipes.

Has anyone here tried mixing e-liquid like they cook? Do you find the results similar?

I think you are spot on--- I do this to enhance flavors all of the time. When mixing fruit I tend to go heavy on the fruit at 13% and add whipped cream or bavarian cream at 2%, same with chocolate- bittersweet at 12-13% and vanilla, cream, coconut at 2-3%.

So, Steven... Are you saying you actually have chocolate recipes that are vapable? If you do, please share?

I thought I had some Bavarian Cream Flavor TFA but didn't so I'm trying Vanilla Swirl Flavor Concentrate(WLakaTFA). We'll see what happens. Gave it a speed steep(w/Dremmel) and will be trying it in about an hour.

I got about 16 new flavors from TFA a lot of the small bottles so I can sample some of the not so popular ones. One in particular didn't smell very good at all.
