Karen Page’s Vegetarian Flavor Bible isn’t for beginners, but it’s certainly helpful in helping you transition from basic home cook to proficient home cook. New York Mag claims it helps readers improve on cooking techniques as opposed to just the basics.
“I wouldn’t recommend it for first-timers, but if you really want to step up your game, Vegetarian Flavor Bible is what you need,” Amanda Cohen of Dirt Candy once stated. “It focuses on flavor pairings, like explaining why grapefruit pairs with fennel and arugula, which is the kind of thing that I find invaluable when thinking about recipes.”
