Read more about this recipe
From coincidence to science, the evolution of food pairings has taken us from necessity to the study of molecules. And who knows how many more stops there will be on this incredible journey of taste.

Today, however, we will stop here to prepare a recipe that will win you over thanks to the delicious combination of grilled peppers and Pecorino Romano cheese.

From coincidence to science: the history of pairings in the kitchen has undergone an incredible evolution. In ancient times, it was necessity that guided the hands of cooks, but over the centuries things have changed a lot. People had to preserve food as long as possible, follow the rhythm of the seasons, and—above all—never throw anything away. Rituals and symbolism often played a key role in the composition of a dish, too. With cultural influences constantly evolving and trade routes bringing in new flavors, those “homegrown” traditions were slowly, but surely, replaced by research, rules, and even a true scientific approach.

Today, when we talk about food pairings and molecules, it is difficult to imagine how those first highly successful flavor combinations came about.
Our new recipe will win you over thanks to the well-established (and absolutely delicious) pairing of grilled peppers and Pecorino Romano cheese. We may not know exactly when this flavorful match was made for the first time—but does it really matter? Every bite is a new chance to celebrate.
