Literary notes about hazelnut (AI summary)
In several literary and culinary texts, "hazelnut" is used to evoke a warm, golden-brown hue, particularly in descriptions of butter as it cooks. Authors employ this natural color term to signal the ideal moment when the butter has developed its characteristic nutty, toasted appearance, turning a shade reminiscent of a roasted hazelnut. This evocative description not only guides the reader through a visual and sensory experience but also subtly communicates the transition of flavor and texture in the dish [1][2][3][4].
