As a chef my friends expect pairings

that are both original and unique.

So this party I'm pairing spicy stuffed mushrooms

with chilled whole milk.

Because of their rich and acidic balance,

these stuffed mushrooms are

the perfect pairing for whole milk.

The casein in milk binds with the capsaicin oils

in the chilies, neutralizing them so that you taste

more of the flavor of the chilies,

rather than just the spice,

making milk the perfect partner

for all sorts of spicy dishes.

Get inspired by milk for your next dinner party.
