Pork chop # fig & coriander sauce # persian rice pilaf # grilled asparagus

One of the earliest literary references to Pilaf can be found in the histories of Alexander the Great when describing Bactrian hospitality..."Pilaf is an absorption technique for cooking grains in which the grain is sautéed briefly in butter, then simmered in stock or water with various seasonings. Flavours may be added by starting with onions or other vegetables sautéed in oil or butter before adding the rice, using chicken, or other stock in place of water, and adding herbs and spices. "

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.
