As part of Barb’s role in the innovation projects that make up her daily job, she is
required to taste food and figure out how to make it better. After more than 2
decades doing this, she’s honed her tasting skills and ability to help others make
food taste better. She shared this insight with the world in 2012 when her book

the science of taste into their curriculum. She now teaches the Fundamentals of
Taste to each entering class.  Barb is also a contributor to Forbes.com where she
