Want to pick the perfect wine for dinner? Wondering what to eat with a special bottle? Let The Wine Dine Dictionary be your guide. Arranged A-Z by food at one end and A-Z by wine at the other, this unique handbook will help you make more informed, more creative, and more delicious choices about what to eat and drink.
As one of the country's most popular and influential wine journalists, as well as an expert in the psychology of smell and taste, Victoria Moore doesn't just explain what goes with what, but why and how the combination works, too. Written with her trademark authority, warmth and wit, this is a book to consult and to savour.
At long last a comprehensive A-Z for matching food and wine. You'd have thought one of these would have been around since the Nouvelle Cuisine crowd rebelled against Escoffier. The time when the classic pairings presumably were longer to be taken for granted. Not as far as I am aware, and thus this is a much welcome volume.
Wine writer Victoria Moore covers the usual, and unusual, combinations. Alongside there are example recipes for trying out. And longer in-depth features on key grapes. You can read it front-to-back; back-to-front or simply dip in and out. Enjoy.
