Product Description:
Great cooking goes beyond following a recipe--it's knowing how to season ingredients to coax the greatest possible flavor from them. Drawing on dozens of leading chefs' combined experience in top restaurants across the country, Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg present the definitive guide to creating 'deliciousness' in any dish. Thousands of ingredient entries, organized alphabetically and cross-referenced, provide a treasure trove of spectacular flavor combinations. Readers will learn to work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients; experiment with temperature and texture; excite the nose and palate with herbs, spices, and other seasonings; and balance the sensual, emotional, and spiritual elements of an extraordinary meal.
Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from America's most imaginative chefs, THE FLAVOR BIBLEis an essential reference for every kitchen.
Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Great reference when experimenting with flavors
I absolutely love this book!I first discovered it when it was cited as a reference for a cookbook and am glad I did.While I am not a trained chef, I am an avid home cook that enjoys writing my own recipes, experimenting with foods, and as of late, entering recipe contests.This book helps me be more daring in my flavor combinations and has inspired new recipes.
The first section of the book is a great introduction to flavor.It talks about what is perceived by the mouth, what is ... Read More
Rating: - A book for all "seasons"
Wow! Here we have a book that doesn't hand you a rigid collection of recipes or the author's philosophy on how your food should be prepared and served.
It is however, a simple and fun to use reference guide for any person that wants to get more in tune with how to season their dishes. I've only had it a week and I've turned to it 5 times already...Unlike the 8" thick Thai cookbook that is sitting on my shelf. That one makes me tremble when I dare to open it, because I know the recipes will have ... Read More
Rating: - Must have book, for people who love cooking!!!
I have been searching for a book like this since the time I became interested in cooking.
I can now easily find the ingredients for fish, meat, veggies or anything...It's as if I have an "encycleopedia" of what flavors go together, at my disposal in the kitchen...It's AMAZING!
Rating:  - An excellent reference
I like a cookbook with guides one to flavor combinations, rather than provides strict recipes.This one meets that criteria.It is not for a beginning cook, though, as I think it takes some experience to know what will work for you.
Rating:  - Great concept ... poor excecusion
the book is great it only gets a 3 because there really isnt a matrix system. I suppose if the book was translated into a software tittle it would be much easier to use.
