ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Flavor Bible" by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg is a comprehensive guide to culinary creativity. It explores the complex nature of flavor, which includes taste, mouthfeel, aroma, and the emotional and spiritual aspects of food. The book emphasizes the importance of balancing the four basic tastes: sweet, salty, sour, and bitter, to achieve deliciousness. It moves beyond rigid recipes to focus on a more intuitive approach to cooking, highlighting the need for creativity and sound judgment. It stresses the importance of understanding ingredients, their flavor profiles, and how to combine them effectively. Ultimately, the book presents cooking as a way of “being” in the world and a means of meditation and healing, not just a way of putting food on the table.
