Niki Segnit, author of the landmark book The Flavour Thesaurus, gives you the tools to adapt, to experiment and to play with flavours instead of following recipes slavishly without understanding how they actually work. Lateral Cooking is organised into 77 'starting-point' recipes, including plenty of tips for substituting ingredients and reducing the phenomenal variety of world cuisine down to its bare essentials – and then building it back up again.
