The hugely anticipated follow-up to Niki Segnit's landmark global bestseller The Flavour Thesaurus 'Matching ingredients isn't a trivial matter and Niki Segnit is definitely the reigning champion' YOTAM OTTOLENGHI In More Flavours, Niki Segnit applies her ground-breaking approach to explore 92 mostly plant-based flavours, from Kale to Cashew, Pomegranate to Pistachio. There are over 800 witty and erudite entries combining recipes, tasting notes and stories to bring each ingredient to life.
