The Flavor Thesaurus

Some people are known as supertasters. Possessing the gustatory equivalent of perfect pitch, they can discern nuances and details of flavor not detectable by others. Niki Segnit is clearly such a person. Besides being a beautifully written and inspiring resource guaranteed to ignite your inspiration, "The Flavor Thesaurus" is a love poem to the infinite pleasures of combining ingredients to create new flavor combinations — as told by someone with a granular understanding of taste and an abiding passion for the pleasures of food.
