<b>Finally, the secret sauce of Noma is revealed-the long-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling <i>The Noma Guide to Fermentation </i>offers more than 150 recipes for infused oils, vinaigrettes, fudges, spice mixes, rubs, sauces, and other flavour-boosting condiments that professional and home cooks can use to elevate every part of their cooking.</b><br/><br/><i>The Noma Guide to Flavor</i> is a cookbook offering recipes for 150 significant seasonings, condiments, sauces, and other flavour compounds developed over two decades by Rene Redzepi and the Noma test kitchen.

Most of the recipes are illustrated with step-by-step photo sequences detailing the techniques needed to transform surprisingly familiar ingredients into elements of Noma's distinctive cuisine.

Between the narrative portions and the meticulous recipes, readers will become equipped to create their own Noma-inspired meals.
