Flavor the Moments

The book every cook should own! 📖👩🏻‍🍳

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

If there was only one book related to cooking that I could keep, it would be The Flavor Bible by Karen Page and Andrew Dornenburg. I refer to this book several times a week!

I learned about this book in cooking school 10 years ago and I've referred to it several times a week (if not daily) ever since.

What's so special about it?

  • It's a guide to hundreds of ingredients, from fruits and vegetables, dairy, meats and herbs and spices, and it outlines the flavor profile of each ingredient.
  • Under each ingredient, there is a list of ingredients that pair well with that specific ingredient.
  • You'll find a complete list of specific cuisines such as African, Mexican, Asian, etc, and the flavors/foods that are common in each.

With the help of this book, I'm able to create new dishes that bring salty, sour, bitter and sweet flavors into harmony, and I'm inspired to pair new ingredients together every day.

If you love to cook and want to take your cooking to the next level by understanding flavors and how to pair ingredients together, this book is for you!

Meal Plan Subscription Update

I'm sorry to say that there was not enough interest in the Weekly Meal Plan subscription, so I'll be issuing those that subscribed a full refund this weekend.

If you are interested in meal plans but would like them in a different format (for example, monthly or quarterly seasonal meal plans that you can purchase individually instead of a subscription), please hit reply and let me know! I love getting your feedback so that I can better serve your needs.

Happy cooking!

Mother's Day Brunch Berry Overnight French Toast Casserole I love going out to brunch, but I never go out to brunch on Mother's Day because all of the restaurants are so busy. I typically host a nice brunch complete with recipes that can be made in advance so that I can enjoy my day too. My berry overnight french toast casserole and overnight blueberry baked oatmeal are sweet and satisfying, and so much easier than flipping pancakes or making waffles for an army. And bacon and eggs never got...

Hi Reader, Cinco de Mayo is coming soon, which means I have another excuse to eat more Mexican food! While I love tacos as much as the next person, I prefer to make enchiladas because I can assemble them completely in advance. Making dinner ahead is how I roll. :) My green enchilada sauce is my personal favorite because of its fresh, vibrant flavor. It's super simple and perfect for green enchiladas and this enchilada bake. I do crave my red enchilada sauce often as well, which comes together...

They include minimal prep (most of which can be done in advance), and they take 30 minutes to prepare from start to finish. And I promise that clean-up will be kept to a minimum! What's...
