The Wine Lover's Cookbook: Great Recipes for the Perfect Glass of Wine

by Sid Goldstein

Wine pairings are right on, and recipes are easy to follow and create wonderful dishes. Recipes are different enough to be special, (and better than any other book), but not too exotic that most people won't like them. The wine sections are equally wonderful, the flavor and fragrance breakdowns show you how to taste and pair wines like a pro.

What a remarkable discovery! It's one thing to find a book on wine, another to find a book on food, and something unheard of to find one book on both that so perfectly expresses the joys of marriage between food and beverage. This was a truly ingenious tome that belongs in every kitchen.

For those of you who are visually inclined, you might be a tad disappointed. Only some of the recipes include pictures. Still, considering the subject matter and the great plethora of facts, tidbits, and ideas, you are not missing out. Each type of wine (most if not all) is given a treatment, from a brief background, to what to expect in regards to flavors and aromas. From there, you are guided to the perfect food matches that complement and heighten those aspects of the wine (and vice versa).

Wine and food have long been enjoyed together. Sometimes, we miss out by not having the right wine with the right course. This is your guide, your Magellan for sailing the culinary world. I am so glad that I own this wonderful book. It made a great gift to me from a dear friend, I'm sure your friends would love a copy of it as well! A must-own! ANT
