  Excellent follow on from The flavour thesaurus. Informative, in many cases a food history, witty, and full of ideas. In fact, like its predecessor, more an idea book that a recipe book although both have been kindly indexed. Recipes are in a short hand form but if you have this app and a good number of cook books on your shelf, a cooking method for the ingredients can be found. Excellent bed time read, open randomly and dip in for 10 minutes for ideas for the morrow.

Notes about Recipes in this book

• Green beans with mustard oil [Mustard & green bean]

    I absolutely love this dish. You must buy the mustard oil labelled "for external use only" or it won't have that spicy kick. My brother is averse to mustardy spice and didn't like it much, so definitely proceed with caution if you're sensitive to that kind of heat.
