'You could cook from it over a whole lifetime, and still be learning' Nigella Lawson'A rigorous, nuts-and-bolts bible of a book' Jay Rayner, Observer'Lateral Cooking...uncovers the very syntax of cookery' Yotam Ottolenghi'Astonishing and totally addictive' Brian Eno The groundbreaking book that reveals the principles underpinning all recipe creation, from the author of the bestselling The Flavour Thesaurus Do you feel you that you follow recipes slavishly without understanding how they actually work? Would you like to feel freer to adapt, to experiment, to play with flavours? Niki Segnit, author of the landmark book The Flavour Thesaurus, gives you the tools to do just that. Lateral Cooking is organised into 77 'starting-point' recipes, including plenty of tips for substituting ingredients and reducing the phenomenal variety of world cuisine down to its bare essentials - and then building it back up again. So, under 'Bread', we learn that flatbreads, oatcakes, buckwheat noodles, chapattis and tortillas are all variations on one theme. A few simple tweaks and you can make soda bread, scones or cobbler. And so on, through breads and batters, broths, stews and dals, one dish leading to another. Lateral Cooking is as inspirational and entertaining a read as it is a practical guide. Once you have the hang of each starting point, a wealth of new flavour combinations awaits, each related in Niki's signature combination of culinary science, history, chefs' wisdom and personal anecdote. You will realise that recipes that you had thought were outside of your experience are reassuringly similar to things you've made a dozen times before. It will give you the confidence to experiment with flavour, and the variations that follow are a springboard of inspiration to the contents of your fridge and kitchen cupboards. You will, in short, learn to cook 'by heart'- and that's where the fun really begins.

Der mit Spannung erwartete Nachfolger von Niki Segnits Weltbestseller »Der Geschmacksthesaurus: Ideen, Rezepte und Kombinationen für die kreative Küche«. Im zweiten Band »Der Geschmacksthesaurus: Noch mehr Aromen - Mit Rezepten und Kombinationen für die pflanzenbasierte Küche« wendet Niki Segnit ihren bahnbrechenden Ansatz an, um 92 überwiegend pflanzliche Aromen und mögliche Kombinationen zu erforschen, von Aubergine über Quitte bis Yuzu. Es gibt über 800 originelle und lehrreiche Pairing-Einträge zu 19 verschiedenen Aromakategorien, die mit einer Kombination aus Rezepten, Verkostungsnotizen und Anekdoten jede Zutat zum Leben erwecken. Einige Aromen sind aus dem ersten Band bekannt, treffen nun aber auf neue Gegenspieler und Segnit wird nicht müde, weitere Geschmäcker und Kombinationsmöglichkeiten aufzudecken.Ein moderner Klassiker der kulinarischen Litaratur und unterhaltsame Bettlektüre, umfangreiche Rezeptsammlung und unverzichtbares Nachschlagewerk für Anfänger*innen wie Profis zugleich, genau wie Segnits erstes Buch.

Warum schmeckt gerade Apfel und Zimt so gut zusammen, Käse und Weintraube oder auch Schokolade und Chili? Die Antwort darauf liefert Niki Segnit mit ihrem Geschmacksthesaurus: Sie teilt 99 Lebensmittel in verschiedene Kategorien wie senfig, erdig, fruchtig, paart sie miteinander und kommentiert die Ergebnisse in kleinen unterhaltsamen Beiträgen. Da wird Gurke mit Minze kälter als ein Auftragskillerpärchen und Avocado mit Limette zu Lee Hazlewood und Nancy Sinatra, die »Some Velvet Morning« singen, wobei Lee die samtige Avocadonote beisteuert und Nancy den hohen Limettenton, der die Weichheit genau dann durchdringt, wenn es allzu gemütlich wird. Mit literarischen Anekdoten, leckeren Rezepten und persönlichen Präferenzen ist der Thesaurus eine gelungene Mischung aus Aromalexikon, Kochbuch und Reisebericht und eignet sich als unterhaltsame Bettlektüre ebenso wie als ernstzunehmende Rezeptesammlung.
