The marriage of food and drink is not a new concept: People do it all the time with food and wine. John Harney insists that the correct pairing of tea with food can make an ordinary meal much more delectable and, by extension, the correct pairing of tea used in cooking can also have a positive effect. These varieties of foods are paired with the teas that enhance their flavors. Use his suggestions as a guide and experiment on your own to find the perfect pairing to fit your palate.
