About the book and the method

Foodpairing is a method for identifying which foods go well together based on the chemical components that create aroma profiles and on insights from neurogastronomy — the study of how the brain perceives flavour. This book explains why familiar matches (strawberries + chocolate) are so satisfying and introduces unexpected but delicious combinations (strawberries + parmesan) that expand your culinary horizons. With ten times more pairings than most flavour guides, it’s an invaluable book collection for anyone serious about taste.
