The Vintner's Table Cookbook

Mary Evely's "The Vintner's Table Cookbook" has opened up an entirely new approach for pairing wines with food. Her color-coordinated Taste Wheel and the companion six wine profiles make menu planning a pleasure for even the most unprofessional home chefs. Having unwittingly chosen one of the more complicated menus for my first adventure with this book, "Rack of Lamb with Shallot Marmalade and Cabernet Sauce", I was delighted with a "winner"!

This book is pretty and is full of easy to follow delicious recipes. I highly recommend it...and it is not necessary to be a lover of wine to appreciate all this book has to offer.

This is a great cookbook for food & wine pairing. Explains why they do or do not go together and how to change a recipe so it will pair well w/ a particular varietal. Thorough info. re wine tasting attributes. The best winery chef!

The pairing guidelines ("Wine Profiles") in this book are flawless. The format of this book makes it easy to pair wines with food using your own recipes or those included. The recipes in this book are outstanding; they are simple to prepare and use ingredients which are easy to find. If you only buy one book on this subject, make this the book.

The Vintner's Table - a wonderful compilation of wine parings with appropriate dishes. Beautifully designed, easy to follow and the photographs depict the finished dishes. No wonder this was an IACP award winning book. Mary does a great job in bringing the reader into the recipe and sharing her culinary background with all. A delightful book that you must add to your collection. Reasonably priced and a wonderful gift to give and / or receive!
