    Does anyone in this group have access to any of the (expen$ive) flavor pairing databases?
    I had a bit of an aroma revelation last night, and I'm wondering if there are some common components in pistachio and either galangal or kefir lime leaves -- all three have a resiny, woody flavor (I compare galangal to cedar sometimes).

    Certainly cashews show up in Thai cooking with those aromatics, but I haven't seen pistachio in Thai cooking.

    Hi,

    You may want to get from the library The Flavor Bible.

    Regards,

    I love using the Flavor Bible when developing recipes but it's a bit weak on non-Western cuisine, especially SE Asian, with a short list of only the most obvious pairings.

    Yes, but their database requires an $18/month subscription to look up any but the most common ingredients.

    But I see The Flavor Bible is at my local library. As soon as it stops being Chiberia outside, I will take a short trip.
