Tomatoes and basil, lamb and rosemary, apples and cinnamon…These classic combinations have been handed down through the ages. The Challenge: But beyond a few well-known tried-and-true pairings, how do you know what flavors go together?

There is a vast and exciting array of delicious flavorings from around the globe now available on the shelves of grocery stores and gourmet markets – from fennel pollen to kaffir lime to yuzu juice. The Challenge: You’ve bought them all, now what?

We have an insatiable appetite for cooking ever since the culinary shows have turned every TV into a virtual 24-hour cooking school. As a result, many home cooks no longer need detailed recipes to be able to make dinner every night. The Challenge: Shouldn’t there be a new genre of “cookbook” that doesn’t merely prescribe recipes, but rather inspires the creation of new dishes based on imaginative and harmonious flavor combinations? The solution? Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg’s latest - The Flavor Bible.

Taking eight years to pull together, these two award-winning authors have penned a groundbreaking culinary reference invaluable to home cooks and professional chefs alike. Filled with thousands of entries the book provides a virtual goldmine of spectacular flavor combinations for meat, seafood, cheeses, vegetables, fruits, herbs, spices, and much more. There’s nothing else out there to match it, so pick up a copy and take your flavor combinations to a whole new level!
