Publishers Text

While many cookbooks include some information about the use of aromatics in cooking, none concentrates on this essential link, where a few drops of a fragrant essence can make commonplace dishes memorable and good dishes great. Both the food recipes and the fragrance recipes are powerfully alluring, whether it's an orange flower custard, a cucumber mist, or a rose-infested sea bass.


Explicit information on ingredients, equipment, and terms and techniques complement one fragrance recipe and three food recipes for each of nearly thirty ingredients--lime, mint, green tea, black pepper, vanilla, ginger, and more.


This seminal work will open the sense to the aromatic dimension of food and fragrance.
