Ever wondered why one flavour works with another?...''Le répertoire de saveur'' /'' the Flavour Thesaurus'' by Niki Segnit

The Flavour Thesaurus is the first book to examine what goes with what, pair by pair. The book is divided into different flavour themes such us  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.
