Product Information

To make this book possible, we have worked with a range of experts. Professor Barry Smith, from the University of London, Abscent, and Altered Eating. We thank them for their support.

Taste Kitchen Co. are a family-run business that have been in the Catering industry for 10+ years and proudly have a 5* hygiene rating. We produce some of the tastiest food all of which is cooked from the heart of our home kitchen, catering to the North London & Hertfordshire areas. We only use Kosher meat, unsupervised . Flavour Kitchen is “bursting with inventive recipes” and “creative” flavour combinations. Divided into two halves – savoury and sweet – readers can expect both cooking and baking recipes, from “zingy” curries to “tangy” cheesecakes and “indulgent brownies”. The book also includes Pereira’s guide to her hero ingredients and favourite flavours to give readers more confidence when “boosting their flavours”.This book is a collection of recipes, ideas and expertise to help you on your journey towards enjoying food again. We hope you enjoy it. There are many elements that make this book unique, starting with the recipes themselves. Something that is really important to me when writing this book was originality. By that I mean if I’m bringing a new cookbook into the world, I want every recipe and idea to be unique. New flavour combinations, with dishes that you try and think, ‘oh wow, I’ve never had that before’ (in a good way, of course). There are enough Victoria Sponge recipes about! So this book brings you original, creative dishes that will wow you and your dinner party guests and make them think, ‘wow, I never thought to add those flavours together – but they work, and I’m going to do that again’! I live at home with my family, so while my mum and dad love to keep the kitchen really tidy, as soon as I step foot in there, it’s a chaotic mess! I am not the tidiest cook – but I am trying to get better! But it’s the same kitchen I grew up in, watching my mum cook away at the stove (which is how I learnt to cook), so the kitchen is full of some lovely sentimental memories for me.

We offer all meals and drinks in recyclable containers that can also be reused several times. Regardless of whether you'd like to enjoy your food here with us or at home. We use the simple depositing system from reCIRCLE: you decide whether you want to keep the practical and smart containers or return them to us. Yes, your debut cookbook, Flavour Kitchen , is about to be released – what can readers expect to find inside? Tracy, our incredibly talented Owner & Head Chef, knew for a while that there was something missing; high quality, affordable and delicious Kosher Asian Fusion food that is readily available to not just a small section of NW London, but to the majority of it. A passion for making people happy, the desire to produce some of the tastiest food, and perfect timing meant that this was an opportunity not to be missed. Our BBQs have become one of our most popular offerings – and we really love to work on them. What makes our BBQ so great is the fantastic quality of meat we always use – we have a great local butcher who supplies all of the meat we use including Suffolk pork sausages, salt marsh lamb and prime Kent beef steak mince for our home-made burgers and sliders. We also use artisanal bakery brioche buns for our famous FK Americana burgers. Our BBQ menus would work well for both informal gatherings as well as more formal special events such as weddings.My love of food started from a very young age – food is very much at the centre of my culture, and I’ve been surrounded by food my whole life. At family gatherings, there would never be just one curry and rice. There would be five different types of curries, and five different types of rice. And I’ve loved it. I also used to watch my mum in the kitchen cooking (while she would feed me extra food on the side), which is where I learnt the basics of cooking. She’s an incredible cook and actually taught me the foundations of flavour – she assigned me as the ‘chief taste tester’ and would get me to taste her food, asking me if it needed more salt, sugar, lemon juice, which is how I developed my palate at such a young age. As time went on, I realised that I was able to cook so many of her quintessentially Goan dishes without any recipe, because I had learnt how to do so just by watching her cook, and tasting her food. As I then began to travel around the world, or even eat out more at different restaurants, I started trying new flavours – like miso, za’atar, gochujang – and began incorporating those flavours and cuisines into my cooking and baking at home. Using our five principles of taste and flavour – umami, smell, stimulating the trigeminal nerve (responsible for sensation in the face), texture, and layering flavour – we’ve taught over 1,000 people with cancer to enjoy food again. We wanted to apply these principles to create recipes for those people who have lost their senses of taste and smell as a result of Covid. Learn more about the science behind Life Kitchen.
