The Wine Lover Cooks Italian

Pairing Great Recipes With The Perfect Wine.

Everyone loves Italian wine and Italian food. And in the third book in the ongoing Wine Lover's series, wine expert Brian St Pierre takes wine glass and fork in hand and explores the wine and food of this beloved country.

The chapters are arranged by the different regions of Italy, with wine information further broken down by red, white, and sparkling. Then the varietals are explained with lists of flavours and aromas associated with each one. Brian gives tips for pairing them with food, and has included delicious recipes that illustrate his matching advice. The recipes taste as good as they sound: Rack of Lamb with Walnut-Pesto Crust; Orange, Fennel, and Olive Salad with Mint; Sea Bass Roasted in Red Wine Sauce; Double Chocolate Fantasia with Coffee Zabaglione. Short chapters highlighting Italian olive oil and cheeses and a glossary of Italian wine terms make this a fabulous cookbook for anyone interested in wine, food, Italy (and who isn't?), and putting them all together.
