7/6/2023 0 Comments The flavour thesaurus review![]() ![]() Coffee and goat's cheese? Who would have thought it, but apparently Norwegians eat a cheese called ekte gjetost on crispbread with coffee. At the same time she enlarges our sense of the possibilities of flavour-combining. ![]() In one sense Segnit is telling us nothing new, since flavour combinations are something we all know about: why else would we chose to eat cheese and onion crisps, or mustard with ham? But she fleshes out our understanding of such classic pairings, informing us, for instance, that "the most English combination" of beef and horseradish actually originated in Germany. Former marketing executive Niki Segnit has taken 99 flavours (from potato and cucumber to black pudding and washed-rind cheese) and grouped them into hundreds of pairings, each accompanied by an elegant, and often highly witty, mini-essay. H ere is a marvellous idea for a book: a "thesaurus" of different flavour combinations. ![]()
