(More customer reviews)A stimulus for the adventurous cook, Robert & Molly Krause's Cook's Book of Intense Flavors is almost guaranteed to take your taste buds somewhere they've never been before. Even the not so adventurous will probably be invigorated by the book's uncommon spirit of bold culinary fun.
The book and its tempting photos are beautifully put together but the structure is unusual. Upfront, each recipe is identified only as a trio of flavor combinations, many of which at first glance look pretty improbable. When you reach the actual recipe, you find a rationale for the mix of tastes and a clear and simple application along with suggested menus and encouragement for further experimentation. Plus, there are two indexes in the back to find recipes by ingredient or by the title of the dish. One of the seven sections deals with more complex and time consuming creations, but most of the book should boost the enjoyment and creativity of the home cook.
My copy arrived when I had an abundance of peaches on hand and in no time I was trying out the flavor combination "peach + ginger + vinegar" and the recipe which produces "provocative peaches." This turned out to be an easily prepared and surprisingly delicious sweet & sour peach pickle with multiple uses and variations. I am very happy to have Intense Flavors sitting on the top of a pile of my cookbooks - there are a batch of ideas that I am anxious to put to use and dozens of exciting recipes I've marked to try right away that are bound to broaden my taste horizons.
