Customer rating is 5 of 5  eye opening combinations   2010-03-11
By Michelle (LAGUNA NIGUEL, CA, US)
This book was absolutely hands down the best food related book I've purchased since my culinary textbooks. I cook all the time, it's not my job and is more then a hobby... And I recently started feeling that my flavors and dishes were falling flat, boring and becoming monotonous. So i purchased this book hoping that it would improve on all these issues, OH GOD! did it. My favorite part of the book is the beginning when they break down all the flavor components that a dish needs to make it really pop along with the tidbits from world renown chefs on how they came up with these ideas for their dishes. And to top it off, the rest of the book takes ingredients and under each one, lists what flavors really go well them. It has helped me so much in my cooking my flattering compliments have returned from family and friends! I refer to it ALL THE TIME. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to become a little more adventurous with their meals.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  One of the best books on cooking ever   2010-02-19
By G. Lanham (Seattle)
I'm a professional cook, and this book is so incredibly useful at brain-storming flavor combinations, I just love it. Not really any recipes, just a bunch of recommendations for flavor profiles. Instead of digging through 20 books of recipes to get a few ingredient ideas I can just pop open this one and very quickly decide what else to pair up into my salad, or dessert, or any other course. It won't teach you how to cook, but no other books do what it does.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  An absolute Gem of a book.   2010-02-15
By Christopher Clinton
This book is why cooking is such a joy. Never before could I have imagined that certain herbs and spices, in the combinations that they have listed, would elicit such explosions of flavorgasms in my mouth. I am so grateful that it isn't a cookbook because it calls on you, the cook, the put the meal together which brings your own imagination and prowess into play. If you are a just a home cook, take your recipes to the next level. If you are a chef, take your menu's to a once unimaginable height of culinary masterpieces. Get this book.

Customer rating is 5 of 5  Great Gift for a "Foodie"   2010-02-07
By Cindy (Texas)
I gave this to my "Foodie" neighbor and she absolutely loved it. She said there have been so many times she had wondered if a certain spice would go with the meat/veggie, etc. and now she said she know. This was big hit and I have given it several times to various "Foodie" friends - you can't miss this this book!
