Description

Food 101 returns for its fifth season as Daniel Lucas welcomes Michael deLisser for a fiery deep-dive into the world of spicy food. From chilies’ flavor chemistry to the Scoville scale, Michael explains why heat can heighten sweetness, brighten acidity, and unlock hidden aromas. He shares kitchen-tested tips for building layered spice—toasting, blooming, and balancing with fat, acid, and a touch of sweetness. Expect myth-busting on capsaicin, smart pairings (mango, yogurt, lime), and beginner-to-bold recipes that scale the heat safely. Tune in for a conversation that proves spice isn’t just about burn—it’s about flavor, culture, and joy.
