Product Description

Los Angeles Times, February 21, 2007

"Thanks to Dornenburg's experience as a chef and the pair's
seemingly insatiable appetites and exhaustive taxonomic energies, the
authors have shed new light on the art of pairing, ensuring even the novice
wine drinker -- and eater -- a book's worth of peak experiences."

Copley News Service wine columnist, December 16, 2006

"The world's greatest book on the subject."

By E. L. Wisty TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is a real gold mine of information for anyone interested in food and drink matching. Most of the book consists of two sections, the first indexed by food giving suggested matching drinks, and the second indexed by drinks giving suggested matching food. Unlike most books on the subject, it also considers drinks other than wine, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. These sections are farly comprehensive - there's even suggestions for what wines to drink with KFC or McDonalds, should you have the inclination. Sometimes there is a certain lack of symmetry between the two sections - you may find that although drink A references food B, food B may not necessarily reference drink A and vice versa. This occasional sloppy editing does not detract from the usefulness of this book too much. Because the authors have enlisted a large panel of experts (I counted over 70 names in the appendix) in compiling the lists, this avoids any narrow bias of personal preferences and gives a wider choice of suggestions than if it was compiled by a single individual. Each suggestion given in the list for each food/drink is given a grading (1-4 scale indicated by normal font, bold, bold capitals or starred) according to how many of the experts suggested it.

There is an introductory section discussing the principles of food and drink matching, but this is relatively concise (there is also an end section with some of the experts giving their dozen "desert island wines" along with the food they would eat with it; this section is about as much use as a chocolate teapot to you and I however as they all tend to choose some ridiculously expensive vintage wines from Chateau Somewhere-You've-Never-Heard-Of). This book would best be used therefore in conjunction with some other book teaching you more detail about the principles of food and wine matching (for example Food and Wine Pairing: A Sensory Experience).

Format:Hardcover
Very useful book with a wealth of information on wine and food pairing. Helpfully categorised in two sections, one listed by food and the other listed by wine. My main reservation is that it is directed towards rather American tastes with lots of omissions, which is understandable given the scope of the subject. What to drink with KFC isn't really of interest to me personally, but on the other hand I like the fact that there is no snobbery here, just a straightforward guide to making the most of your pairing. You also have to remember to look up eggplant rather than aubergine, and whole European cuisines are lumped into a single line (Greek cuisine, or German cuisine).

The introduction makes for an interesting read, although there is an odd section at the end which is a collection of restaurant menus, the unstructured ramblings of various sommeliers and their biographies, and a small handful of very random recipes. All in all, a more than worthwhile investment.

I bought this book to share with my students studying a Diploma in Hospitality, it has proved to be a great source of reference and opened a whole new world of taste sensations for them. I would recommend this book for someone who wants to know more about matching food and drink, without being "snobbish" asbout it.
