The Flavor Bible

I’ve made mention of this book in previous comments and I know a couple of people have purchased it since then. So I thought I would make a thread for anyone that doesn’t know about this book and may be interested.

This is a GREAT reference guide for pairing flavors and it’s a great way to get some new ideas, you may of not thought of before. I have had this book on my shelf for years and ironically, being a chef I have never actually used it but since I have been making my own juices I have been getting a whole lot of use out of it!

This book is exactly what the title says “The Flavor Bible” basically, flavor matchmaking. It provides a detailed description on almost everything from fruits, Nuts, Breads, Vegetables and more.

For Example;

BLUEBERRIES
Season: Spring-Summer
Taste: Sour-sweet
Botanical Relatives: Huckleberries
Weight: Light
Techniques: Cooked, Raw
Volume: Quiet-Moderate
Tips: Can substitute Huckleberries, Cinnamon with blueberries really intensifies the flavor of the blueberries, blueberries and lemon really go well together, etc etc…

Pairing;A-Z

  • Allspice
  • Almonds
  • Apples
  • Apricots
  • Bananas
  • Blackberries
  • Butter/milk
  • Chocolate,White
  • Cinnamon
  • Cinnamon
  • Basil
  • Cloves
  • Cognac
  • Etc, Etc…

That’s just a very brief example because there is A LOT more info than that and also each item is different and may have different information than the next!

It’s a really fun book, especially if you are struggling with idea of what to do with a certain item. Keep in mind this is an actual culinary book not an e-juice flavoring book, so you wont be seeing any UNICORN VOMIT in here :wink:

There are digital copies of this book as well but it’s much easier to use and navigate the physical book, rather than a digital PDF.

For those of you who want the PDF version, I have uploaded one for all to have :slight_smile: Let me know if you have any questions!!

Found a free epub of this online. I’ll take a look at it when I can concentrate on what I’m looking at. Since I like to cook, this may come in very handy for other than vape stuff. Thanks for the info!

Is that what happens when you feed a monkey jalapenos?

CAP Banana @ 10%
FA Vienna Crm @ 1%
VG @ 6%
Nic @ 3%

This is going to help tremendously. Who knew blueberries and bazil went togerher! Of course I rarely cook with blueberries. I just toss them into my Ninja with some Fage and whatever else I have lying around. I am going to have to order this. Thanks for sharing!

for each of you that received the Flavor Bible download from me, i have some cool shit to tell you:
go to page 50 and check out the index…i mean the Clickable Link Index!! yeah, thats right! its so much easier to navigate through the book with that feature! so, [quote=“DarthVapor, post:11, topic:25556”]
so it is a lot easier to quickly open to “S” than scrolling down to “S”.
[/quote]

^^^its as easy as opening to “S” ^^^ lol…

ok, i’m done…just wanted to share that, because it was just brought to my attention…
