'Cooking With Wine' is a fantastic way to cook. So next time you open a bottle, add some to the pan and enjoy the exciting flavours wine brings to your food.
It might sound extravagant, but just a splash is all you need to take a simple tomato sauce to new heights or add a fresh twist to a classic dish. In this book, award-winning food and wine writer Fiona Beckett brings you exciting new recipes for cooking with wine as well as much-loved favourites. Beginning with Starters, you can dazzle your guests with Smoked Duck Salad with Pinot Noir Dressing or Steamed Asparagus with Sauvignon. Lemon and Dill Sauce. Fish and Seafood is full of fresh ideas such as Roast Monkfish with Pancetta, Rosemary and Red Wine Gravy, and everyone's favourite, Chicken, is transformed when cooked in wine. Try Chicken with Chardonnay and Chantrelles or classic Coq a Vin. In Meat you'll find some fabulous ideas such as Italian-style Roast Pork with White Wine, Garlic and Fennel or Rigatoni with Sausage, Aubergine and Zinfandel Sauce.
Finally wine can be used to make seductive Puddings and Drinks. Try Fiona's fabulous Sparking Shiraz and Summer Berry Jelly or her ultra-refreshing White Sangria.
