Published by Webster

NotebookLM, Google’s AI note-taking app, can now summarize and help you dig deeper into YouTube videos.

You can then click on these topics to get more detailed information as well as ask questions. (If you’re struggling to come up with something to ask, NotebookLM will suggest some questions.)

4 Cookbooks to Dive into this Season

Published by Webster

They say you can’t make everybody happy and so was the case with Niki Segnit’s bestseller The Flavour Thesaurus. While the book had a huge fan following, it also had a lot of people ask why an ingredient they liked or was common knowledge, was not included in the book. Well not everything can, and a lot was arbitrarily not, acknowledges Niki in her introduction, adding that the seed for this new book came from the many requests for a vegetarian/plant-forward perspective and it was one of many reasons the seed for More Flavours took root, and then a life of its own. And so, this sequel is plant-forward but does not strictly adhere to being vegan – it includes eggs, cheese, honey and also meat mentions. It also keeps Ravinder Bhogal’s Marylebone restaurant Jikoni as an ideal. Much like her first book, this sequel celebrates a palette (pun intended) of pairings. There is chocolate with all-spice which we are familiar with and then chocolate with aubergines – in the dessert Melanzane al Cioccolato! Mustard …
