Delightful and informative ... I love Niki’s style of writing –
packed with knowledge and information, but conveyed with such a
lightness of touch. This is full of ideas for those who don’t want
a prescriptive approach to recipes

An eclectic combination of dictionary, recipe book, travelogue and
memoir … Erudite and inspiring, practical and fun, it will make you
salivate, laugh, take issue and feel vindicated … Segnit does for
flavour what Lucca Turin achieved for scent in Perfumes: The A-Z
Guide. A deceptively simple little masterpiece, set to take its
place by McGee on Food and Cooking as a household Bible
