Colonel Tiki’s Society of Syrups is a private virtual club dedicated to educating, promoting, and making available a library of resources for its members based on its own underlying philosophy and aesthetical culinary designs centered on these focusing ideals of flavor and flavor-theory:
- Locality, seasonality, tradition, historic relevance, & social accountability
- Whole and entire fruits, spices, seeds, and other ingredients
- Low-tech and minimal processing of ingredients where possible
- Interest in varietals & variations of fruit, spices, seeds, and other ingredients
- Hand-made, people-centered culinary traditions
- Scientific and academic rigor
The Society’s enduring goals are these avenues of support and resource:
- Presentation of seminars, publication of works, and continued academic inquiry into flavor theory and history
- Club functions at attended events – outreach and in-event support for club members
- Community and online forum or discussion area for members to connect, collaborate, and discuss
- Make available for nominal fee a library of syrups for members to requisition and use on their own flavor journeys
