We love this book because it provides an excellent set of recipes that are tailored to our Georgian wines (including our Ambers (AKA Orange skin-contact white varietal wines). But this is THE cookbook for WINE Explorers, those of you who want to experience lesser known wine styles from around the world. Sure, there are a couple of recipes for Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay, but most of the wines featured are fantastic wines that you've got to try, even if you can't pronounce them.
Wine Food is a wine course exploring the wondrous universe of wine varietals and styles that many wine drinkers never venture into. Rather than a typical cookbook than provides recipes of a particular genre, this cookbook starts with unique table wines and then provides recipes tailored to exquisite pairing for each wine.
When we saw the book in our favorite book store, the cover caption of "New Adventures in drinking and cooking" and wondered; aren't our Georgian wines exactly what this book might include? We were delighted when we were taken to the very center of the book, page 140 to be exact, to find an entire section dedicated the "Georgian Supra". It seems like this book was inspired somewhat by the authors' adventurous experience of Georgian dishes designed over centuries to compliment the rare and unique wines of Georgia.
