Jennifer Fetterly of Sun Prairie Star profiles Joel and Breanna Jenkins in her article “Couple combine Midwest and European baking traditions in Crumb en Croute,” which references THE FLAVOR BIBLE as an inspiration:
Using Karen Page’s “FLAVOR BIBLE” Joel and Breanna like to experiment with flavor combinations.
Crumb en Croute’s strawberry and pistachio scones with a chocolate glaze and the ginger pecan scones with a vanilla bean glaze are top sellers.

Epicurious.com‘s Laurie Ellen Pellicano quotes the late James Beard Award-winning pastry chef Gina DePalma on THE FLAVOR BIBLE:
“So many dessert recipes call for vanilla that it is like salt for dessert,” notes late pastry chef Gina DePalma in THE FLAVOR BIBLE. “But sometimes it doesn’t have a place and can muck up things.” As the holiday season comes barreling in, I urge you to reclassify that ubiquitous bottle of vanilla as one of many liquid flavorings available to add dimension to your pies, your bread puddings, your trifles, tortes, and tarts. This year let’s look to the liquor cabinet for a glorious range of flavoring options.

Dublin bartender Matheus Bonora Gamez of Dorian recommends THE FLAVOR BIBLE on the website run by PussersRum.com:
Q. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION FOR YOUR COCKTAILS? YOUR GREATEST ACHIEVEMENT?
A. I love to check classics and add something new. [Like the Boston Sidecar with Pusser’s!] The Savoy Cocktail Book and THE FLAVOR BIBLE are the most important references I use for my cocktails.
