Rating:
Summary: Lots of fun and inspiring too
Review: Organized by technique - Sauces, Steaming, Marinating, Braising - Goldstein's ("The Wine Lover's Cookbook) colorful book encourages wine lovers to jump from the glass into the pan with Seared Peppercorn and Spice Crusted Rib-Eye, Portuguese Steamed Clams with Sausage, Asian Eggplant Salad, Grilled Quail in Red Onion Escabeche, Monkfish Tagine and Drunken Chocolate Cake with Port.

The classics are here too: Coq au Vin, Onion Soup, Braised Beef short Ribs, Port-Poached Pears, and the blend of modern international dishes and homey classics strikes a charmingly sophisticated note. Each chapter begins with tips on technique and each sparely designed recipe includes suggestions for the accompanying wine. Close-up photos stimulate the palate and offer presentation ideas. An inspiring collection.
