Cooking with Wine is your passport to the world of wine and food. The book goes beyond suggesting wines to accompany dishes, pushing this pairing into another realm; the realm of wine as a complement to ingredients in the pot as well as in the plate. "Glass to plate, plate to glass, the delicate balance of flavors, alternately competing and complementary, make this a fascinating game. The endless quest for the perfect pairing of nature`s essences extends beyond borders and cultures. Wine has been used in cooking since antiquity, and was probably one of humankind`s first gastronomic inventions. And this certainly wasn`t accidental as wine enhances cooking", says the author.
