Synopsis
Discover the powerful principles of flavor pairings, the building blocks of all good cooking, in this James Beard Award-winning "encyclopedic primer to flavor" ( Associated Press ). Great cooking goes beyond following a recipe--it's knowing how to combine ingredients to coax the greatest possible flavor from them. Drawing on dozens of leading chefs' experience in top restaurants across the country, Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg present the definitive guide to creating "deliciousness" in any dish. Thousands of ingredient entries, organized alphabetically and cross-referenced, provide a treasure trove of spectacular flavor combinations. Readers will learn to work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients; experiment with temperature and texture; excite the nose and palate with herbs, spices, and other seasonings; and balance the sensual, emotional, and spiritual elements of an extraordinary meal. Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from America's most imaginative chefs, THE FLAVOR BIBLE is a true modern classic and an essential reference for every kitchen., Widely hailed as one of the most influential cookbooks of all time, this is the timeless classic guide to culinary creativity and flavor exploration, based on the wisdom of the world's most innovative chefs Eight years in the making, The Flavor Bible is a landmark book that has inspired the greatest creations of innovative cooks and chefs by serving as an indispensable guide to creativity and flavor affinities in today's kitchen. Cuisine is undergoing a startling historic transformation: With the advent of the global availability of ingredients, dishes are no longer based on geography but on flavor . This radical shift calls for a new approach to cooking -- as well as a new genre of "cookbook" that serves not to document classic dishes via recipes, but to inspire the creation of new ones based on imaginative and harmonious flavor combinations. The Flavor Bible is your guide to hundreds of ingredients along with the herbs, spices, and other seasonings that will allow you to coax the greatest possible flavor and pleasure from them. This astonishing reference distills the combined experience of dozens of America's most innovative culinarians, representing such celebrated and transformative restaurants as A Voce, Blue Hill, Café Atlántico, Chanterelle, Citronelle, Gramercy Tavern, the Herbfarm, Jardinière, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, the Modern, and the Trellis. You'll learn to: explore the roles played by the four basic tastes -- salty, sour, bitter, and sweet -- and how to bring them into harmony; work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients by discovering which flavors have the strongest affinities for one another; brighten flavors through the use of acids -- from vinegars to citrus juices to herbs and spices such as Makrut lime and sumac; deepen or intensify flavors through layering specific ingredients and techniques; and balance the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of cooking and serving an extraordinary meal. Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from the country's most respected chefs and pastry chefs, The Flavor Bible is an essential book for every kitchen library. For more inspiration in the kitchen, look for The Vegetarian Flavor Bible and Kitchen Creativity.

    Answers to cooking flavor combination

    The book does a fine job of stating what herbs, spices and other flavors combine well. It will also state what flavors or generally used with a particular item. For example honey glazed teriyaki goes great with salmon. We cook about twice a day and real meals at that. Although we cook quite a bit we still look to see what combinations work well and gather new ideas. Whether you're a nook cook or have grown up in the kitchen this is a must have in the library.

    Fusion Without Confusion

    I work as a chef in institutional food service. It's important to me to be able to make better food and different food for my clientele. The systematic advice on flavor pairings in the Flavor Bible is detailed and gives me reliable options. I develop recipes with so much more confidence and success. As a chef, if I only build on my own experience, I am limited by myself. The Flavor Bible gives me the shoulders of dozens of other chefs to stand on in order to make my kitchen better.
