The Flavour Thesaurus- More Flavours
The hugely anticipated follow-up to Niki Segnit's landmark global bestseller The Flavour Thesaurus The Flavour Thesaurus: More Flavours examines 92 original and diverse flavours from Kale to Cashew, Pomegranate to Pistachio. Every ingredient is vegetarian and explored with the economy of a thesaurus, then expertly paired with those they complement. It covers a wide range of flavours, from classics like Honey, Green Tea and Tomato to the delightfully unexpected, like Tamarind, Seaweed and Yuzu. There are over 800 entries, in which the stories, tasting notes and recipes combine to vividly bring each ingredient to life.
