Vin et nourriture

The wine lover's and food lover's playbook features 75 wine styles and 250 producers to try, along with 75 recipes perfectly paired with them. "Wine food" is a new way of discussing wine pairing, coined by a new generation of wine enthusiasts and cooks seeking to explore a broader variety of wines and match them with the rustic, casual, and global cuisine they enjoy. In Wine Food, Dana Frank, a natural wine bar owner and winery owner, collaborates with author and stylist Andrea Slonecker to present 75 recipes for brunches, salads, vegetable dishes, picnics, weeknight dinners, and festive gatherings with friends, all inspired by delicious and affordable wines that complement them beautifully. Each recipe begins with a brief overview of the wine style that inspired it, detailing the grapes and the countries from which the wine originates, followed by a brief explanation of how it enhances the flavors and textures of the dish. Recommendations for three to eight producers for each featured wine style will help cooks discover a wide range of bottles in local wine shops, supermarkets, and online. Frank and Slonecker also provide a wine flavors cheat sheet, a label lexicon lesson, a crash course on wine tasting like a pro, and illustrated guides on pairing wine with various favorite foods (such as typical take-out, beloved pasta dishes, and popular sweets). With over 75 atmospheric photos and recipe images, as well as 20 watercolor illustrations, Wine Food offers an experiential, enjoyable, and delicious approach to wine education for wine enthusiasts of all levels of knowledge.
