Finally, the secret sauce of Noma is revealed-the long-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling The Noma Guide to Fermentation 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.

The Noma Guide to Flavor 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. These are the components that define the inimitable taste of Noma, including iconic preparations such as roasted kelp salt, smoked egg yolk sauce, Nordic pesto, and lacto-koji beurre blanc. 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. Noma uses these recipes to create elevated preparations for the restaurant (a selection of gorgeous plated-dish photos are included), but readers-whether professionals or avid home cooks-will find plenty of inspiration for their own kitchens, aided by do-able suggestions from Noma chefs.

In conversational essays and anecdotes woven throughout the book, Redzepi shares how staff members from around the globe have influenced Noma's flavour palette, and how Noma chefs take pristine seasonal ingredients and blend, grind, dry, smoke, macerate, reduce and otherwise elicit the most potent and desirable flavours that make up the sensory language of Noma. Between the narrative portions and the meticulous recipes, readers will become equipped to create their own Noma-inspired meals.
