Sensational food and wine pairings don’t require a sommelier’s expertise. 100 Perfect Pairings: Main Dishes to Enjoy with Wines You Love puts them at your fingertips with delicious dishes for just about every occasion. Written for everyday wine lovers, this simple but savvy cookbook features 100 recipes organized by twelve popular wine varieties: six whites and six reds. To serve a dish that will pair perfectly with your favorite Chardonnay, Syrah, or Pinot Grigio, for example, just turn to that chapter, make any one of the exciting entrees you find there, and serve it with your wine. It’s that easy. Try Pork Loin Roast with Dried Cranberry Stuffing and Pinot Noir, Cilantro-Lime Salmon over Jasmine Rice with Riesling, and Bacon and Blue Cheese Burgers with Merlot. Or do your own thing—basic pairing advice is included for each wine, so you can create your own perfect pairings.
Cooks&Books&Recipes Featured Cooks Carol & Paul:
This cookbook was a perfect pairing for us because we’re really into wine and food! Many of our website visitors tell us they are concerned that they won’t pair a particular wine varietal with the correct food. Food and wine is all about enjoyment: no one should stress over food and wine pairings. This little cookbook takes out the guesswork and makes it easy for all cooks to look like they’ve been pairing wine and food for years.
The size of the book made it handy to use, and we really liked the easy-to-understand and straightforward wine information that was provided at the beginning of each section. We liked the wine varietal choices that the author made; all of these wine types are easy to find in a wine shop or grocery store. The recipes provide simple directions, and the results look far more complex than the preparation would suggest.
