Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

Flavor stand-ins for the hazelnut

How well each one fits the dish's main ingredients (ricotta cheese, evaporated milk, sugar, wine):

  1. Walnutbetter flavor fit
  2. Almondbetter flavor fit
  3. Pecansabout as good a flavor fit
  4. Hazelnutthe original

Fit is the average pairing score against ricotta cheese, evaporated milk, sugar, wine. Candidates are from the same food group and used in at least 100 recipes. This compares flavor only: it does not check the job the ingredient does in the dish (bulk, moisture, acidity, structure).
