Food and wine pairings

To put an end to bad taste mistakes, food and wine pairings are the cornerstone of the French gastronomic meal. While the French gastronomic meal was designated as a "world intangible cultural heritage" by UNESCO in 2010, the art of pairing has only recently been recognized in our social and cultural construction of taste. To learn about it, one must simply understand the physiological functioning of flavor combinations. This book helps to understand the "mechanics" and provides everyone with the keys to create their own pairings: how it works, why harmony and complementarity can elevate each element, allowing for the exploration of other beverages such as tea or beer. At the end of the book, a list of pairings is proposed based on the favorite dishes of the French to celebrate their daily lives. An ideal tool that allows you to go beyond databases associating wines you don't have at hand with dishes you never make.
