I discovered this while making an episode of my podcast, Gastropod, all about bitter. I'm not a bitter fan, usually, but Jennifer made me realise what I was missing out on — and gave me great ideas for how to add bitter flavours into my cooking. A bit of bitter melon in a Thai curry makes everything else taste sweeter and richer, for example.

Although this book is brand-new to me, I can’t resist adding it. The recipes are so much to my taste that I don’t need to have tested them to be sure. McLagan’s use of unexpected techniques and surprising flavor combinations reveals the pleasures of bitterness as her knowledgeable voice instructs and charms.
