CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
My go-to cooking reference -
I use this book as a reference if I have a bit of this and a bit of that on hand... Say I have some cilantro but want new or even classic ideas of what I can prepare with it based on items already in my pantry or want to make something I don't normally make... I will look up "cilantro" in The Flavor Bible and see that it goes great with tomatoes, lemongrass, limes, coconut, and other flavor combinations.
If all you are interested in is reading a set recipe and following it to the "T," then this is not the book for you. I fit into this category until recently, but found a balance between following a recipe and improvising and even making my own recipes with The Flavor Bible as my reference.
If you are a cook who wants to learn basic flavor combinations or who would like to improve his or her culinary repertoire and move on to more exotic flavor combinations, this is the ideal foundation/idea book.

Solid advice - 
Very similar as the authors' book on wine and food pairing. This time it is about pairing differnt ingredients with each other. So an A-Z with ingredients and suggested matching ingredients. Interesting book to browse and pick up ideas from. The book also has a "theory" section explaining the reasoning behind the suggested matches.
I can recommend this book and the wine-food pairing book as well to all foodies interested in Western Cuisine. I've given both books four stars because they are not really masterpieces or absolutely essential reading, just two books full of solid advice.
A student's best friend -
I am in Culinary school. This book is a must. It is well worth the investment.
Nice Idea Book -
An interesting read in the first part describing the chefs and a few recipes. The bulk of the book is a listing of ingredients and their affinities. It provides inspiration to try new flavor pairings. I've experimented a bit with a few of my standard offerings and have been pleased with the results.

The Flavor Bible is a comprehensive guide to flavors and how to blend them with food; a must-have for anyone who cooks! -
This reverence guide is versatile, detailed and it has been exhaustively researched. With many basic ingredients, basic cooking ideas and simple dishes listed alphabetically, this guide is a wonderful resource for anyone who wants to cook regardless of experience or lack there of.
Chapter 1: a brief chapter on "Learning to Recognize the Language of Food"
Chapter 2: a brief chapter on "Communicating VIA the Language of Food"
Chapter 3: takes up the majority of this book; it is includes "Flavor Matchmaking" charts that describe Taste, Weight, Volume, Techniques, Flavor Affinities, Suggested Dishes, Quotes from Chiefs and cooks from across Canada and the US and more...
Because of the sheer volume of flavours and flavor combinations that are included in this guide, sadly there wasn't any extra room for recipes; instead this book is used as a handy reference guide for anyone who wants to plan an elaborate meal or simply throw leftovers together for a quick meal. The real beauty of The Flavor Bible is its universal usability for the experienced chief right down to someone who is about to cook for the very first time. There are detailed explanations that make sense and the terms and definitions are easy to understand. With countless, delectable colour photographs, this hefty book will take the guesswork out of creative cooking and inspired recipe planning, giving the cook confidence in their work, knowing that their food will taste great every time; no matter how many different ways they mix things up.
A note to those, who like myself, usually jump right in to reference books at a random page; you do NEED to read chapter 1 and 2 before you move on to chapter 3. If you skip the first two chapters, you are going to wined up confused and frustrated because you won't know how everything fits together, trust me on this.
I very highly recommend The Flavor Bible to anyone who has the willingness to cook and the desire to experiment with flavors!
