Overview:
Two influential culinary guides join forces in the Flavour Duet collection. The Flavour Thesaurus More Flavours, Niki Segnit’s hugely anticipated follow-up to the landmark original, explores 92 mostly plant-based flavours—from Kale to Cashew, Pomegranate to Pistachio. Readers will encounter more than 800 witty, erudite entries that blend recipes, tasting notes and stories to bring each ingredient to life. Paired with Sabrina Ghayour’s Sirocco: Fabulous Flavours from the East, a collection of 100 accessible recipes drawn from Middle Eastern and cross-cultural traditions, the set invites home cooks to celebrate simple ingredients and bold flavours. Ghayour, celebrated as a leading voice in modern Middle Eastern cooking, offers a clear path from classics to contemporary twists, ideal for weeknight dinners, entertaining menus, and adventurous baking. This hardcover duo is designed for food lovers who relish flavour theory as much as practical instructions, making the set a valuable addition to any kitchen library.

The entries encourage experimentation, pairing kale with nuts, pomegranate with pistachio, and beyond, while guiding readers toward cooking confidence. Sirocco adds a different dimension: authentic recipes that translate East-inspired flavours into accessible Western dishes. The collection invites readers to build menus, experiment with spices, herbs, citrus, and grains, and see how flavour memory can shape dish development. The set serves as both reference and inspiration for home cooks, food lovers, and culinary students alike, celebrating curiosity, texture, aroma, and the joy of cooking with simple, high-impact ingredients. This pairing offers a complete kitchen companion for those seeking to expand their culinary horizon.
