    I grew up in a household where I was taught when cooking salty sweet dishes, you should add just enough sugar to the dish so that it tastes different but you can’t tell why. Otherwise you’ve added too much sugar.

    You can definitely taste the sweet in Pineapple pizza…

      In some savory dishes like tomato sauce for example you add a little bit of sugar to reduce bitterness and just make the flavors more balanced. Also, most anything tastes better if you add just a little bit of salt in at some point of the cooking process.

      Doesn’t mean I’m going to sprinkle sea salt on top of my pecan pie though…
