Eating & Drinking: An A-Z of Great Food and Drink Combinations - Softcover

"Red meat, red wine; white meat, white wine." The old standbys of dining etiquette are downright laughable in the face of the amazing array of ingredients and influences that make up our diets today. This easy-to-follow A to Z lets you pair your meals with the perfect wine, beer, or spirit, even if you know nothing about vintages or vineyards. Just look up a dish or its main ingredient to find its perfect complement. From Aioli (a French Bandol if you can afford it, otherwise a Spanish Albarino) to Zucchini (baked with tomatoes and cheese, Montepulciano d'Abruzzo or a good Valpolicella), you can't go wrong. From "red meat, red wine" to "beef teriyaki, Australian Shiraz" in one easy lesson.
