Description
TASTE! is a refreshed and expanded new edition of Glynn’s REAL FLAVOURS – the handbook of gourmet & deli ingredients, voted World’s Best Food Guide and described by Nigel Slater as ‘one of the only ten books you need’.
The book features unique new NEED TO KNOW panels for each category, fast-to-use lists telling you what’s important, whether buying, cooking or eating. Each is a guide to how to spot the good, the bad or ugly, and the ideal ways to enjoy the world’s best deli ingredients.

Included are chapters on Beans, Peas and Pulses, Bread and Baking, Charcuterie, Chocolate, Chutneys, Ferments and Pickles, Coffee, Dairy including Cheese, Fish, Fish Eggs and Seafood, Fruit, Vegetables, Nuts, Dried Mushrooms and Sea Vegetables, Grains including Pasta, Herbs, Spices and Natural Flavourings, Oils, Olives, Sauces, Sugars, Syrups and Honey, Tea and Herbal Teas, and Vinegars.

You’ll end up reading TASTE! like a challenging novel, because it also presents controversial opinions about chillies, synthetic flavourings, palm oils and more. Glynn says: ‘the book answers the questions you didn’t know you should have asked, and is an ingredient handbook that makes every cookbook work.’
