But as she tested the combinations that informed \u003ci\u003eThe Flavor Thesaurus\u003c\/i\u003e, she detected the basic rubrics that underpinned most recipes. \u003ci\u003eLateral Cooking \u003c\/i\u003eoffers these formulas, which, once readers are familiar with them, will prove infinitely adaptable. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is divided into twelve chapters, each covering a basic culinary category, such as Bread, Stock, Soup \u0026amp; Stew, or Sauce. The recipes in each chapter are arranged on a continuum, passing from one to another with just a tweak or two to the method or ingredients. Once you've got the hang of flatbreads, for instance, then its neighboring dishes (crackers, soda bread, scones) will involve the easiest and most intuitive adjustments. The result is greater creativity in the kitchen: \u003ci\u003eLateral Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e encourages improvisation, resourcefulness, and, ultimately, the knowledge and confidence to cook by heart. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLateral Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e is a practical book, but, like \u003ci\u003eThe Flavor Thesaurus\u003c\/i\u003e, it's also a highly enjoyable read, drawing widely on culinary science, history, ideas from professional kitchens, observations by renowned food writers, and Segnit's personal recollections. Entertaining, opinionated, and inspirational, with a handsome three-color design, \u003ci\u003eLateral Cooking\u003c\/i\u003e will have you torn between donning your apron and settling back in a comfortable chair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Niki Segnit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1635572649\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781635572643\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/05\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 612\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.50h x 6.90w x 1.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/16\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/01\/2019 pg. 104","brand":"Niki Segnit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44045079183615,"sku":"9781635572643","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_44086176-9d9a-4545-b9a4-f8ff18e7ff82.jpg?v=1684976612","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lateral-cooking-niki-segnit-9781635572643","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
