Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Unique, beautifully written and ceaselessly imaginative, The Flavor Thesaurus is a completely new kind of food bookinspired, as author Niki Segnit explains, by her overreliance on recipes. 'Following the instructions in a recipe is like parroting preformed sentences from a phrasebook. Forming an understanding of how flavors work together, on the other hand, is like learning the language: it allows you to express yourself freely, to improvise, to cook a dish the way you want to cook it.'The Flavor Thesaurus is the inquisitive cook's guide to acquiring that understandingto learning the language of flavor.Breaking the vast universe of ingredients down to 99 essential flavors, Segnit suggests classic and less wellknown pairings for each, grouping almost 1,000 entries into flavor families like 'Green & Grassy,' 'Berry & Bush' and 'Creamy Fruity.' But The Flavor Thesaurus is much more than just a reference book, seasoning the mix of culinary science, culture and expert knowledge with the author's own insights and opinions, all presented in her witty, engaging and highly readable style. As appealing to the novice cook as to the experienced professional, The Flavor Thesaurus will not only immeasurably improve your cookingit's the sort of book that might keep you up at night reading.Cooking is an art, like writing or painting, and great cooks are artists. And although the ultimate source of creativity remains elusive, all painters have their color wheel, all writers their vocabulary. And now, in the form of this beautiful, entertaining and exhaustively researched book, cooks have their own collection of essential knowledge: The Flavor Thesaurus.
