The new generation of wine drinkers and chefs love to discover a broader range of wines that perfectly match their favorite dishes. In WineFood, sommelier Dana Frank and chef Andrea Slonecker draw inspiration from delicious and affordable wines that pair beautifully with 75 recipes for brunches, salads, vegetarian dishes, picnics, weekday meals, and dinners with friends.
Each recipe begins with a brief overview of the type of wine it is based on, a description of the grapes, the countries of origin, and a short explanation of how the wine supports and complements the flavors and textures of the dish. For each type of wine, several wineries are recommended. This helps the cook find a wide selection of wines at the liquor store, supermarket, and online. Frank and Slonecker even provide a wine cheat sheet, a course on reading wine labels, a short course on “tasting wine like a pro,” and examples of wine varieties that match authentic dishes.
WineFood features more than 75 beautiful atmospheric images, recipe photos, and 20 watercolor illustrations. It is an educational, practical, fun, and above all, delicious book for every wine lover.
