From classic balsamic and red wine vinegars to innovative elixirs infused with fruit, savory, and herbal essences, flavored vinegars are as perfect for gift-giving as they are for enlivening favorite dishes. In Flavored Vinegars --an enticing companion volume to the best-selling Flavored Oils --acclaimed chef Michael Chiarello proves once again that great food can be pure simplicity: it's as easy as drizzling a few drops of balsamic vinegar on a ripe slice of melon or brushing mango vinegar on fish as it goes to the grill. Heady and aromatic, a flavored vinegar intensifies the taste of many dishes without added fat or calories. This delectable collection includes over 50 quick and easy recipes for making and using a fabulous array of vinegars to create inspired appetizers and salads, pastas and entrees, marinades, and even desserts. Brimming with inventive ideas and vibrant, full-color photographs, Flavored Vinegars provides all the inspiration to add a tasty accent to any meal.
This is a good little book if you want to make your own vinegars or to give them as gifts. I thought they would last longer, but I guess that's no one's fault. I like the book.

As an avid chef, herb gardener and creator of decorative oil and vinegar bottles, I am always searching for a recipes to create my own vinegar infusions. When I came across this book I knew I had found the source I was looking for. The author covers all bases from how to make your own infusions to what to do with them once you have created them. He divides the book into different types of vinegars like fruit, classic, savory, herbal and balsamic, the latter of which no one can make since only true balsamic comes from Modena,Italy, but its inclusion is necessary and his recipe for roasted polenta with mushrooms and balsamic sauce is well worth the price of the book. There is also some fun facts and history. If you are looking for ideas of what to do with all that overgrown tarragon and rosemary in your garden, this book is for you.
