Quick Facts

• Who wrote it: Lucy Waverman and Beppi Crosariol

• Who published it: HarperCollins

• Other highlights: This book is organized the way that people cook. Not only can you flip to a different chapter depending on your mood — Bitter, Herbal, Smoky, Creamy, Nutty, Earthy, Salty, Sweet, Tart, Spicy, Umami — but the authors also provide meal plans around each flavor.

What’s more, the menus are planned by season, making it easy (and tasty) to cook with fresh, seasonal ingredients all year round. And what’s even more, the recipes are drawn from Lucy Waverman’s globe-trotting adventures and are paired with Beppi Crosariol’s wine and spirit recommendations, giving us lots and lots of fresh new ideas and dishes to try.

This feels like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure for enthusiastic cooks. Start on page 1 and who knows where you’ll end up!
