I have been searching for a book like this since the time I became interested in cooking. I can now easily find the ingredients for fish, meat, veggies or anything...It's as if I have an "encycleopedia" of what flavors go together, at my disposal in the kitchen...It's AMAZING! Rating - An excellent reference I like a cookbook with guides one to flavor combinations, rather than provides strict recipes. This one meets that criteria. It is not for a beginning cook, though, as I think it takes some experience to know what will work for you. Rating - Great concept ... poor excecusion the book is great it only gets a 3 because there really isnt a matrix system. I suppose if the book was translated into a software tittle it would be much easier to use. see more reviews See all books by author Karen Page, Andrew Dornenburg
