The whole book is well-written and considered and takes a broad, international perspective. So, for example, in the miso section, nobody will be surprised to see the old standby pairings, such as ginger, garlic, and seaweed, but I had never thought of combining miso with banana (Segnit references the delicious-sounding banana cake with miso butterscotch served in the London restaurant Jikoni) or yogurt (Segnit quotes fermentation guru Sandor Katz who confirms that the fattiness of the yogurt goes well with miso). I love (and often turn to) the original "Flavor Thesaurus" so was very glad to have the opportunity to see an early copy of the forthcoming newest plant-based version of this incredible reference guide, "Flavor Thesaurus: More Flavors." As with the original thesaurus, usage is simple and straightforward: look up an ingredient and see the various flavors that it goes well with. With her celebrated blend of science, history, expertise, anecdotes, and signature sense of humor, Niki Segnit's More Flavors is a modern classic of food writing, and a brilliantly useful, engaging reference book for every cook's kitchen. More Flavors explores the character and tasting notes of chickpea, fennel, pomegranate, kale, lentil, miso, mustard, rye, pine nut, pistachio, poppy seed, sesame, turmeric, and wild rice-as well as favorites like almond, avocado, garlic, lemon, and parsley from the original-then expertly teaches readers how to pair them with ingredients that complement. (Yotam Ottolenghi) to produce a new treasury of pairings-this time with plant-led ingredients. Now, she again draws from her “phenomenal body of work” With her debut cookbook, The Flavor Thesaurus, Niki Segnit taught readers that no matter whether an ingredient is “grassy” like dill, cucumber, or peas, or “floral fruity” like figs, roses, or blueberries, flavors can be created in wildly imaginative ways.
The plant-led follow-up to The Flavor Thesaurus, "a rich and witty and erudite collection" ( Epicurious), featuring 99 essential ingredients and hundreds of flavor combinations.
