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.

I bought this book as a gift for someone that cooks. With its detail on mixing ingredients for different flavors I feel that it will be a great gift.

Very disappointing compared to What to Drink with What You Eat. Basically copied the approach, but it doesn’t really work with this subject. Too elementary and not especially useful, unlike What to Drink, which is far more polished and a constantly useful reference.

After reading the reviews, I expected brilliance. I expected new ideas on food combination which would enhance flavors and make them stunning. I was disappointed. This book is an alphabetical listing of foods and spices each with a list other foods and spices which are often used together. But who needs to buy a book, or use shelf space to know that cinnamon goes good with apples and pumpkins? There is no epiphany here. There are a lot of quotes from chefs bragging about their culinary superiority and artistry, but these are not helpful or useful tips. As far as flavor combinations, I didn’t see anything new.
This book is a compendium of consensus of flavor blending. What an anti-creative process! It distills cookbooks into cookbook flavoring.
If you want to improve your cooking, or create new dishes, skip this book. You will be much better off experimenting, and creating new flavor blends.
