The Flavour Thesaurus

I found this book in a charity shop and picked it up, mainly as it looked like a nice book to sit on my bookshelf. However once I actually sat down and have a read though it, I had been spoilt.
It really is a thesaurus full of a food wheel and a list of many different ingredients some which I never would have thought of combing, such as chocolate and goat's cheese. It became very handy when I returned to University a week earlier than catering started. So I went out and as per usual bought the most random ingredients, mainly the cheapest that I could find, with no idea to what I was actually going to eat at all that week, and when it came to actually cooking and evaluated what I had actually bought I flicked through my trusty new book and saw a new way to cook.
I do recommend this book as it really does show you which ingredients combine well together and in the short time I have had it I have used it more than I thought I would, and not only that it is a nice thing to look at as well.
