Description

'Delightful and informative ... packed with knowledge and information, but conveyed with such a lightness of touch' YOTAM OTTOLENGHI

'The books I value most are those I return to again and again. Such has been the case with The Flavour Thesaurus' NIGEL SLATER

'An eclectic combination of dictionary, recipe book, travelogue and memoir ... A deceptively simple little masterpiece' SUNDAY TIMES

Ever wondered why one flavour works with another? Or lacked inspiration for what to do with a bundle of beetroot? Well look no further...

The Flavour Thesaurus was the first book to examine what goes with what, pair by pair, flavour by flavour. Divided into themes including Meaty, Cheesy, Woodland and Floral Fruity, Niki Segnit lists 99 popular ingredients, and for each one suggests unique flavour pairings that range from the classic to the bizarre.

You will find traditional pairings such as pork & apple, lamb & apricot and cucumber & dill; contemporary favourites like chocolate & chilli and goat's cheese & beetroot; and interesting but unlikely-sounding pairings like banana & chicken, black pudding & mint, lemon & beef, blueberry & mushroom and watermelon & oyster. With nearly a thousand combinations, Niki also provides around 200 recipes and ideas throughout the book.

Now featuring a new foreword by Bee Wilson and a fold-out poster of the flavour wheel, The Flavour Thesaurus is a highly useful, and covetable, reference book for cooking - it's the only kitchen companion you need.
