This is a cookbook for people who adore great food and wine. For people who love the Barefoot Contessa because the recipes are doable and always come out right. People who crave simply delicious natural food, many right off the vine or from the farmer's market. People who cherish a beautifully photographed cookbook with user-friendly presentation of recipes. And, those of us who love to learn more about the science of food and wine while browsing through a lovely book... THE WINEMAKER COOKS is perfect. Chris Hanna makes it all seem easy and every recipe is mouthwatering. I've tried a few and they more than deliver. Photos are great. Tips and wine pairings complete the package. I know there are a million recipes on-line, but for those of us who just love to browse a beautiful book and fold down the pages of all the recipes we will try, this is the best book to come along in a long time. My friends will enjoy their holiday present this year for years to come. Congrats to Chris Hanna and photographer Sheri Giblin.

I just love The Winemaker Cooks. I have tried several of Chris' recipes and they are wonderful. Served at dinner parties and they make me look like a hero. Thanks Christine for making such a lovey cookbook. I will treasure it for years to come.

The Winemakers Cooks, is a wonderful illustrated cook book with a lot of wine knowledge provided. The book is arranged by seasons, which provides a variety of recipes for anything from appetizers to dessert. I tried a full meal as soon as I got the book and found the recipes to be simple but used good ingredients the made the meals taste like gourmet meals at the best restaurants. They used a lot of fresh ingredients and some things that I had not tried before. I found that the meal went well with the recommended wines. I really enjoyed the first meal and am looking forward to the next meal.

Nice cookbook, her style is very relaxed and confident. I took my time reading thru the pages, and I'm looking forward to trying something from this soon. How many books hit the shelf and thats it..I'll be reaching for this one when I want to get inspired and have nothing specific in mind.
