I mentioned this book in another post and thought people here might like it. (Or maybe have it already!) It has lists of ingredients that go well with each other, which makes it great for experimenting: http://www.amazon.com/Flavor-Bible-Essential-Creativity-Imaginative/dp/0316118400

Interesting book Melissa....looks like they are throwing a bunch of ingredients at you and trying to make you realize which ones will work the best together. For someone just starting to expand their cooking level, or someone with a little "mad scientist" in them it sounds like a good read.
Go ahead...play with your food!

I'm very much a beginning Mad Scientist, and I'm loving it.

Oddly enough, the reviews I read say it's best for experts. (who will have learned the techniques to take full advantage of it.)

Sounds like something I'd like to look at. I'll check the library next time I go....usually go there a couple times a month. There are, however, flavors they say are good together, but are a bit strange to me. The first one that comes to mind is chocolate and hot chili pepper. Although to a very small extent (there is teeny amounts of chocolate) dark mole is good and it is not hot-spicy at all.
 
This past summer my kids bought Mrs Rivet some fancy chocolate bar with hot pepper bits in it....I took a piece by mistake. GADS! it was awful; made me feel green Dead

A store near us sells bacon chocolate. At $7/bar, I'm just not that curious.

I've heard that bananas and parsley go well together, which sounds odd.
