Winner of the 2009 James Beard Book Award for Best Book: Reference and Scholarship
Great cooking goes beyond following a recipe--it's knowing how to season ingredients to coax the greatest possible flavor from them. Drawing on dozens of leading chefs' combined experience in top restaurants across the country, Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg present the definitive guide to creating "deliciousness" in any dish. Thousands of ingredient entries, organized alphabetically and cross-referenced, provide a treasure trove of spectacular flavor combinations. Readers will learn to work more intuitively and effectively with ingredients; experiment with temperature and texture; excite the nose and palate with herbs, spices, and other seasonings; and balance the sensual, emotional, and spiritual elements of an extraordinary meal.Seasoned with tips, anecdotes, and signature dishes from America's most imaginative chefs, THE FLAVOR BIBLE is an essential reference for every kitchen.

Summary: Great Gift for a "Foodie"
Comment: I gave this to my "Foodie" neighbor and she absolutely loved it. She said there have been so many times she had wondered if a certain spice would go with the meat/veggie, etc. and now she said she know. This was big hit and I have given it several times to various "Foodie" friends - you can't miss this this book!

Summary: For the Flavor Bible
Comment: I had great expectations for the Flavor Bible - it sounded so interesting.
But for me there was not enough information about how, why, or when to use the herbs and spices.
So I returned the book.
Just because I didn't care for it should not deter others from checking it out.
Churm Shop Rating:
Summary: Random and not the least bit inspiring!!
Comment: How anyone can give this 5 stars is beyond me. Just a batch of random ingredients with no index whatsoever. This book only irritates me when trying to read it. Garbage for those who can't cook or read. Best used as lining for your pet's cage.
Churm Shop Rating:
Summary: Not as advertised, but fun
Comment: This is a fun book to curl up with, but don't expect miracles. Some of it is annoying (the authors continually pitch their other books) some self-serving (many of the chefs' comments and so-called "essays", some obvious (gee, did you know chocolate goes with ice cream?). For technique you're largely on your own. But it will on occasion enlighten, and even inspire, and it may be helpful in suggesting combinations of flavors you wouldn't have thought of. It's a little haphazardly organized (topics include Italian Food, Bitterness and Chervil), but again if you just poke through it it makes for a fun read and you might get an idea or two. Reading it makes me hungry.
Churm Shop Rating:
Summary: Awesome!
Comment: I love cooking without following a specific recipe. Before this book I would either have to have find a recipe to use as a loose set of suggestions, or run through in my head what ingredients were usually paired with what. Now I can usually flip to a page and scan down the list to make choices quickly, and outside my usual lines of thought. I love this book and use it so often that it rarely makes it back to the bookshelf!
