Culinary creation can be a delicate balancing act.
Cooking can be intimidating. There are so many potential ingredients, seasonings, and opportunities for things to go wrong—quickly. You could end up serving a meal that’s too spicy, too sweet, too salty, too sour, too bitter, or worst of all, so bland your guests aren’t sure if they actually ate anything at all.
In a similar vein to the catch-all solution above, you can serve the spicy portion of your meal with a more neutral food, such as rice, pasta, or bread. If you’ve ever eaten chili on a nice slab of fresh sourdough, you know it is *chef’s kiss* perfection. The same way sweetness can fight spice, a little bit of fire can counteract sweetness. Just be careful and taste, taste, taste—you don’t want to get caught in a sweet-spicy-sweet-spicy loop that doesn’t end until your guests start crying and order takeout .Sour and bitter ingredients will work too, though the former is a little easier to manage. Some lemon or lime juice can work wonders on a too-sweet plate, but don’t expect all citrus to work the same way.
