A Matchmaker for Your Taste Buds

"To savor "The Flavor Thesaurus" fully it helps to think of its author, Niki Segnit, as a culinary marriage broker. An imaginative but practical matchmaker, she has a gift for pairing sometimes lackluster ingredients in a way that brings out the best in them and makes them more appealing as a couple than they ever were as loners."

" Even experienced home cooks will find much that is new and challenging here: a horseradish-spuds pairing livens up the usual bland mashed potatoes or potato salad; an anchovy-beef union adds an extra dimension to routine beef stew; and a ginger-cabbage match puts zing and spicy-sweet edge into a simple stir fry."

Horseradish in mashed potatos?
Achovy and beef?
Ginger AND cabbage in a stir fry!

INSANITY!
