Taste + Flavour
Tom Kime

with David Thompson before returning to England where he is an executive
chef, food writer and television presenter. Dishes such as baked
clams with pearl barley and preserved lemon and salt-and-spice roasted
pork
belly with caramelized peanut and chilli dressing demonstrate how
our sense of gustatory satisfaction rests on the balance of hot,
sour, salty
and sweet flavours. Colour photos. Hardcover, 256 pp, $39.95.
 My
Gastronomy
Nico Ladenis
First published almost 20 years ago, this book rapidly became a classic
amongst food professionals for its creative recipes-warm lobster
salad with truffle butter was often copied. Before some of the bad
boys built
their careers on it, Ladenis was voicing his opinions on kitchens
and customers. Softcover, 254 pp, $29.95.
 Best

inn on the death of her father. Holder of a Michelin star, first female winner
of the Bocuse d’Or, food columnist in a German magazine, Linster manages
to make the familiar seem entirely new or perhaps just newly appetizing. Witness
the crisp pasta roses with lobster,wild salmon with potatoes and basil butter
or the red beet puree and syrup. Colour photos. Hardcover, 177 pp, $99.95.
