The timeless guide to culinary creativity and flavor exploration, based on the wisdom of the world's most innovative chefsEight years in the making, The Flavor Bible is a landmark book that will inspire 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 no 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 restaurants as A Voce, Babbo, Blue Hill, Café Atlántico, Chanterelle, Citronelle, Gramercy Tavern, the Herbfarm, Jardinière, Jean Georges, Le Bernardin, the Modern, Moto, and the Trellis. You'll learn to: explore the individual 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 the layering of 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.

Worth the money !
What a great , book to understand how flavor pairing works and fundamentals of cooking. I am a professional bartender and I find this book very useful for not just home use but for bar use as well.

An awesome and quick inspiration
Every time I have an ingredient I want to mix with something, I open this book. It's so simple to consult. I get ideas about what to make in five minutes and the food is just delicious. Five stars! This is probably not for beginners. Real beginners, like folks who struggle to cook rice of fry eggs. For the rest -- an absolute recommendation.

Tout est dans le titre. à ma connaissance c'est le seul livre au monde à traiter du sujet du goût et des saveurs. toute les combinaisons possibles et imaginables. des infos inédites et incroyables. c'est pointu et fouillé. avec ce livre vous allez oser des mélanges rares et subtils

Great resource if you don't mind how American it is
It is very much an American book and it is noticable when you read it... however, as it is not a recipe book you do not face the usual problem of converting American measurements and temperatures into something a bit more UK friendly. I would encourage you to give this book a try even if an American bias is normally a bit annoying for you. This book offers combinations of more than 2 ingredients, explain how to create winning flavour combinations yourself and provide inspiration in the form of quotes from food writers or cooks. It reminds me of The Flavour Thesaurus, which is certainly a better known book where I am, but I find it to be far more educational and entertaining. It has definitely helped me become a more confident cook.
