The Flavour Thesaurus: A Compendium of Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook: Professional Chef

Autor Niki Segnit
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 21 iun 2010
Watch out for Niki's long-anticipated follow-up, More Flavours focusing on plant-led pairings - coming in May 2023.

'Delightful and informative ... I love Niki's style of writing - 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?

The Flavour Thesaurus was the first book to examine what goes with what, pair by pair and is divided into flavour themes including Meaty, Cheesy, Woodland and Floral Fruity. Within these sections it follows the form of Roget's Thesaurus, listing 99 popular ingredients alphabetically, and for each one suggests unique flavour pairings that range from the classic to the bizarre.

You will find traditional pairings: pork & apple, lamb & apricot, cucumber & dill; contemporary favourites like chocolate & chilli and goat's cheese & beetroot, and interesting but unlikely-sounding pairings like black pudding & chocolate, lemon & beef, blueberry & mushroom, and watermelon & oyster. There are nearly a thousand entries in all, with 200 recipes and suggestions embedded throughout the text.

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 will keep you up at night reading.

Recenzii

Delightful and informative ... I love Niki's style of writing - packed with knowledge and information, but conveyed with such a lightness of touch. This is full of ideas for those who don't want a prescriptive approach to recipes
An eclectic combination of dictionary, recipe book, travelogue and memoir . Erudite and inspiring, practical and fun, it will make you salivate, laugh, take issue and feel vindicated . Segnit does for flavour what Lucca Turin achieved for scent in Perfumes: The A-Z Guide. A deceptively simple little masterpiece, set to take its place by McGee on Food and Cooking as a household Bible
I'm a huge fan of cookery recipes, and I heartily recommend The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit. It lists more than 4,000 possible combinations of 99 flavours, with lots of recipes to inspire you
An exquisite guide to combining flavours
Every time I return to it, which is often, it makes me tingle with happy greed
Segnit cleared the path for me to break free of the hackneyed old classics and develop interesting pairings of my own
An original and inspiring resource
It has intrigued, inspired, amused and occasionally infuriated me all year, and will for years to come
Every cook should own a copy ... [it] will revolutionise your cooking
Follow this book and you will impress your guests like never before
A forensic yet fun exploration of flavour combinations and why they work
A bible for anyone who cooks by grabbing ingredients from the fridge
The Flavour Thesaurus is a fascinating book for culinary geeks who like to know the origin and science behind ingredient combinations
Inspiration for figuring out what to do with the random tins left in my cupboard
A fun and often eyebrow-raising read
This imaginative and beautiful little book deserves a place on the shelves of every serious home cook

Descriere

Ever wondered why one flavour works with another? Or lacked inspiration for what to do with a bundle of beetroot? The Flavour Thesaurus is the first book to examine what goes with what, pair by pair. The book is divided into flavour themes including Meaty, Cheesy, Woodland and Floral Fruity. Within these sections it follows the form of Roget's Thesaurus, listing 99 popular ingredients alphabetically, and for each one suggesting flavour matchings that range from the classic to the bizarre.

You can expect to 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 couples including black pudding & chocolate, lemon & beef, blueberry & mushroom, and watermelon & oyster. There are nearly a thousand entries in all, with 200 recipes and suggestions embedded in the text. Beautifully packaged, The Flavour Thesaurus is not only a highly useful, and covetable, reference book for cooking - it might keep you up at night reading.
