Delightful and informative ... I love Niki's style of writing – packed with knowledge and information, but conveyed with such a lightness of touch. This is full of ideas for those who don't want a prescriptive approach to recipes

Yotam Ottolenghi

An eclectic combination of dictionary, recipe book, travelogue and memoir … Erudite and inspiring, practical and fun, it will make you salivate, laugh, take issue and feel vindicated … Segnit does for flavour what Lucca Turin achieved for scent in Perfumes: The A-Z Guide. A deceptively simple little masterpiece, set to take its place by McGee on Food and Cooking as a household Bible

Sunday Times

I'm a huge fan of cookery recipes, and I heartily recommend The Flavour Thesaurus by Niki Segnit. It lists more than 4,000 possible combinations of 99 flavours, with lots of recipes to inspire you

Kate Winslet, Harper's Bazaar

An exquisite guide to combining flavours

Observer

Every time I return to it, which is often, it makes me tingle with happy greed

Bee Wilson

Segnit cleared the path for me to break free of the hackneyed old classics and develop interesting pairings of my own
