The Elements of Taste by Gray Kunz & Peter Kaminsky

Four-Star Chef Gray Kunz has teamed up with food writer Peter Kaminsky to put together a cookbook that looks precisely at how the dynamic of great taste is achieved. By putting into plain language the thoughts that a chef has when he or she creates a recipe, The Elements of Taste has forged a revolutionary approach to cookbook writing. Every dish in this book is conceived according to the interplay of fourteen categories of taste.
