![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Published in 2010, The Flavor Thesaurus is part reference book and part empowerment tool. And more practically: Was there a book she could read to learn the tricks to flavor pairing? When the answer seemed to be no, she set out to write one herself. How did they know what would work? Segnit wondered. While she scratched grooves into the pages of her cookbooks from underlining the same steps over and over, they were untethered, creative, pairing flavors seemingly by instinct. The idea for The Flavor Thesaurus, as author Niki Segnit notes in the book’s introduction, came to her in a moment of “almost touching naivete.” A home cook with a crippling dependency on recipes, Segnit watched as her less-risk-averse friends threw things together in the kitchen-ingredients she never would have guessed could harmonize on a plate-to surprising success. ![]()
