in an exquisite union, in a perfect combination


Explanation:
Sounds cookbooky.
I hesitate to use "more perfect union" since James Madision already used that one in the Preamble of the US Constitution.

agree  F Schultze (X): Made me smile :-) Thanks Larry. Not just cookbooky, "Skön förening" is used in a gazillion contexts in Danish/Norwegian/Swedish. You probably already know - just making sure.

(great) harmony


Explanation:
I believe in moderate use of adjectives, so I would just say "Two flavors in harmony"

agree  Görel Bylund: I would try this "opskrift" too - however I don't quite agree with using moderate adjective sin this context - maybe not quite cookbook standard, but very much food magazine lingo.
