The Flavor Thesaurus: A Mini Deep Dive
The Flavor Thesaurus: Pairings, Recipes and Ideas for the Creative Cook is a team member favorite in our shop.

This book is a fantastic tool to introduce you to flavor profiles that make great partners to further your knowledge of taste to then take to your cutting board, fridge, and pantry and experiment with. Here are a few pairings we find particularly interesting!
