Serve A Winning Dish Every Night With FlavorPrint Recipe Recommendations

SPARKS, Md., June 26, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- What if you knew you'd like a dish before you even tasted it? McCormick^® & Company, a global leader in flavor, has been driving innovation in the kitchen for 125 years with products that make life taste delicious. Now its new FlavorPrint recipe recommendations, which offer personalized recipe suggestions tailored to an individual's flavor profile, make it easier to put something on the table that the whole family will enjoy.

Because flavor is at the heart of every meal, FlavorPrint recommendations are powered by the flavors you love. The recommendations also consider foods you might be trying to avoid, specific dietary preferences, how you like to cook and ingredients you typically have in your cabinets.

"FlavorPrint recommendations don't just take the guess work out of deciding what's for dinner – they assure that you'll like whatever it recommends based on a compatibility rating," said Chef Kevan Vetter of the McCormick Kitchens. "Think of it as a matchmaker for your palate. For example, my FlavorPrint mark shows that I lean toward smoky, coffee and chocolatey flavors."

How It Works
Each person has a unique flavor "fingerprint" that is conveyed through a distinct visual mark, which has 33 "spikes" to represent different flavors in your personal flavor profile. The bigger the spike, the more prominent the flavor. The service compares each person's FlavorPrint mark with thousands of ingredients, recipes and products – each with its own FlavorPrint mark – and recommends the best matches.

Get Started
In less than two minutes, you can find your unique FlavorPrint mark by answering a series of questions about flavor preferences. Like other expert online services that offer personalized music and media recommendations, the more you share through recipe interactions or refining your profile, like cooking styles and ingredients and equipment you typically have on hand, the smarter your recommendations become – so you can look less and cook more.
