As part of your responsibility for training a new kitchen employee in the restaurant where you work, you have been asked to go over thickening agents with them. How would you identify and explain the principles of thickening agents used in food prep? How would you distinguish between the physical properties of various thickening agents?

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

the previous answer given.

the answer is counterpoint.

counterpoint definition: "the art or technique of playing a melody or melodies in conjunction with another, according to fixed rules."

counterpoint is present in a lot of baroque music- such as bach (notably his wtc prelude and fugues) and scarlatti, but can also be found in music by mozart, beethoven. it can even be found in music as modern as john williams!
