Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2025 This journal is such a clever idea! It gives you a place to jot down your own recipes, flavor pairings, and notes while you experiment. Instead of just guessing what worked and what didn't, you can actually look back and build on your own creations. I love the thought of finding a "signature flavor," and this book makes that process feel exciting and approachable. For anyone who enjoys food, cocktails, or just trying new things, it turns your kitchen (or bar cart) into a little tasting lab. It's going to be loads of fun to explore together with my husband and see what new favorites come out of it! Moosikguy 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2025 Format: Paperback This is such a clever idea for a book. In the opening pages, Wallis provides guidance to help the reader achieve a deeper understanding of their palette and how to pair cocktails with food. The majority of the book is devoted to journal pages and recipes that allow the reader to put that knowledge to work. Highly recommend. Martin James Wallis is a British author, flavour explorer, and former intelligence professional with a taste for curiosity and creative pairings. After years working across public and private sectors, often navigating complexity and uncertainty, Martin now channels that same inquisitive spirit into writing. His Sip and Savour series blends practical guidance with a dash of wit, helping home bartenders and food lovers build confidence in flavour matching.Beyond the bar, Martin also writes on Medium, where he explores themes of curiosity, creativity, and meaningful work, all with a reflective, human touch. When not writing, he's likely experimenting with infusions, tasting something bold, or noting down inspiration for his next project, usually with a cocktail in hand.
