Title: WINE WITH FOOD by Joanna Simon ISBN: 0684835223 Publisher: Simon & Schuster Pub. Date: 13 February, 1997 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $25.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3
Rating: 2
Summary: eurocentric
Comment: This book is extremely eurocentric and not very useful for an American cook. Simon essentially dismisses "new world" wines and pairs English cooking with European (ie French) wines. Some of the general rules are helpful but I do not want or need to know what wine to serve with kippers!
Rating: 2
Summary: Disappointment for USA readers
Comment: I have had this book for several months and read through it several times before deciding to alert USA readers they are likely to be disappointed with its contents. While the wine discussions are informative, the discussion of pairing them with foods is decidely European. You will seldom find these meals or even their ingredients in America. Those in the USA would be better served with: The Wine Lover's Cookbook: Great Recipes for the Perfect Glass of Wine
by Sid Goldstein
Rating: 5
Summary: The Rules and how to break them
Comment: Joanna Simon has provided a wealth of information about teaming the right wine with the right food. This is not a cookbook; she is providing the foundations necessary to go forth and create with confidence. She discusses the rules, the effects of cooking styles, and wine varietals. Taking the regional aproach, she explores the classic foods and wine combinations of Europe,the Americas, Australia and New Zealand and then goes on to tackle the more challenging foods of Asia. The book concludes with a fabulous chart for matching an impressive list of wine varieties to food types and another for matching food to wine. I like to use this book in conjuntion with Sid Goldstein's Wine Lover's Cookbook for an excellent dual-approach: Simon is heavier on the wines and Goldstein heavier on the food. Together they provide novice and expert alike with a solid grounding and the desire to eat and drink well.
