TASTE! is a refreshed and expanded new edition of Glynn's REAL
FLAVOURS - the handbook of gourmet & deli ingredients, voted
World's Best Food Guide and described by Nigel Slater as "one of the
only ten books you need."
The book features unique new NEED TO KNOW panels for each category,
fast-to-use lists telling you what's important, whether buying, cooking
or eating. Each is a guide to how to spot the good, the bad or ugly, and
the ideal ways to enjoy the world's best deli ingredients.
TASTE! is an all-embracing, comprehensive handbook of specialty food
information, from salt, pepper, sugar and salt to Portuguese Egg Tarts,
sourdough, olive oil, caviar, wondrous British charcuterie, cheese and
cheesecakes. Included are chapters on Beans, Peas and Pulses, Bread and
Baking, Charcuterie, Chocolate, Chutneys, Ferments and Pickles, Coffee,
Dairy including Cheese, Fish, Fish Eggs and Seafood, Fruit, Vegetables,
Nuts, Dried Mushrooms and Sea Vegetables, Grains including Pasta, Herbs,
Spices and Natural Flavorings, Oils, Olives, Sauces, Sugars, Syrups and
Honey, Tea and Herbal Teas, and Vinegars.
You'll end up reading TASTE! like a challenging novel, because it also
presents controversial opinions about chillies, synthetic flavorings,
palm oils and more. Glynn says: "the book answers the questions you
didn't know you should have asked, and is an ingredient handbook that
makes every cookbook work."
