Andrea Immer has one
of the world's best, and least pretentious, wine palates. In
her debut
cookbook she proves that her taste in food is just as finely
honed and
down-to-earth. Presenting 125 recipes that pair
magnificently with
wine, she shows how to bring these great flavor combinations
to the
dinner table�with minimum fuss and at minimal cost. Her food
and wine
matches are guaranteed to make even weeknight meals special
occasions.
Wine
enthusiasts and epicures alike could not be in better hands:
World-renowned Master Sommelier Andrea Immer is also a
graduate of the
French Culinary Insitute, where she refined her already
formidable
cooking skills and understanding of food flavors, and where
today she
is dean of wine studies. In her new book, she solves that
most vexing
dinner dilemma�which wines to serve with what foods.
Drawing
on her sophisticated understanding of tastes, she offers up
internationally inspired delicacies like Cumin-crusted Lamb;
Fettucine
with Proscuitto, Sage, and Mushrooms; or Tarte Tatin with
Bourbon and
Vanilla. She also offers down-home dishes like Fast-Track
Baby Back
Ribs, Turkey Quesadillas with Sesame Sweet Potato�Mole
Sauce, or Cheese
Grits with Shrimp and Chorizo. Everyday Dining with
Wine is filled with recipes emphasizing a robust
harmony of flavors for every course from soup to
dessert.
Andrea
believes that wine should be a part of everyday dining�for both
pleasure and health. With this book in hand, you can choose
a recipe
and then find the wine that complements it best, or start with a
special bottle and discover its perfect food partner. Here,
too, are
Andrea�s answers to such common and perplexing questions as
�Where
should I store my wine?�; �Once I open a bottle, how long
will it be
good?�; �Does the shape and quality of glassware matter?�
Wine and food belong together, whether for a
weeknight meal or a dinner party. With Everyday Dining
with Wine there is no guesswork involved in
making any meal a cause for celebration.
