Reviews

'Matching ingredients isn't a trivial matter and Niki Segnit is definitely the reigning champion. She knows what goes with what and why, and shares her endless insights with generosity and affability' * Yotam Ottolenghi *
'As brilliant, informative and witty as the first Flavour Thesaurus, this latest by Niki Segnit is certain to become an invaluable companion in your kitchen. The range of flavour combinations and recipe suggestions is incredible, written with lightness of touch and humour that had me laughing out loud at home and on the Tube. An invaluable read - I couldnt have written any of the Roasting Tin books without reference to the first Flavour Thesaurus: this book will inspire a new generation of home cooks, chefs and writers alike' * Rukmini Iyer *
'A must-have for food writers and chefs everywhere' * Georgina Hayden *
This gorgeous, erudite, learned book puts you in a state of permanent hunger, searching the internet for yuzu. I cook from it, I read it in the bath. You wouldn't believe how many stains I've already got on it, I've only had it a month. * Zoe Williams *
A brand new take on plant-based what-goes-with-what that frees us omnivores to go veggie because it tastes so good. Not so much a recipe-book as an ideas-machine: who'd have thought that brown sauce is sweetened with dates Inspirational. The woman's a genius * Elisabeth Luard *
'The Flavour Thesaurus absolutely transformed the way I thought about ingredients and flavour, and set me on the road to cooking (and mixing cocktails) much more intuitively. It was funny, too, which is rare for a book that is so useful. Through her vivid writing, Segnit's turned up the colour saturation in my sensory world. And I'm pleased to say - in the best possible way - that More Flavours is no different. Segnit has just found 92 (mostly plant-based) new flavours to conjure with ... In a publishing world groaning with identikit food books, [More Flavours] is really unique' * Alice Lascelles *
