| The Deluxe Food Lover's Companion | The New Wine Lover's Companion | |
| Product Format | 'It remains a must-have for anyone who wants to know more about cooking terms.'—The Advocate | Descriptions of Wines from Around the World |
| Product Highlights | Based on Barron’s popular and authoritative The Food Lover’s Companion, this enlarged and enhanced reference volume was written for discerning home chefs and everybody else who wants to become more knowledgeable about good food and elegant dining. This second edition has been updated with new information to reflect the way we eat in today’s world. The authors have taken into account our healthier lifestyles and more diverse palates to include: more than 500 new listings, including entries relating to Indian and Southeast Asian ingredients, plus expanded coverage of South American, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern cuisines; updated information for hundreds of existing entries; a blood alcohol concentration chart for men and women; an extensive breakdown of food labels and nutritional facts; department of Agriculture recommendations for a 2,000 calorie per day food plan. More than 7200 entries plus line art are included in this seminal work. Miniature glossaries are interspersed throughout the text. Sidebar features throughout the book offer quick tips on food purchases, as well as Fast Facts and advice on preparation, serving, and dining. Handy appendices cover many topics including suggestions for substituting recipe ingredients, a microwave oven conversion chart, recommended safe cooking temperatures for meats and fish, and much more! The deluxe hardcover binding with dust jacket includes a ribbon place marker and golden-tipped page edges, making this gorgeous book as much a showpiece as it is an indispensable reference. | Enlarged and updated with information about the myriad changes enacted by the European Union over the last few years and their effect on member nations, newly flourishing wine-growing regions, enhanced coverage of vinicultural practices, and additional wine making terms, The New Wine Lover’s Companion informs, advises, and enlightens readers with approximately 4,000 entries that describe wines produced all around the world. The A-to-Z entries describe grape varieties; wine styles; wine growing regions; wine making techniques; wine-tasting terms; sizes and styles of glassware, wine bottles and wine openers; optimal temperatures for serving different wines; and much more. The original edition of this book was hailed by Jurgen Gothe of the Vancouver Sun as 'the best new wine book in more than a decade. . . ' and this new edition is better than ever. One of the many qualities that has made The New Wine Lover’s Companion so popular is its accessibility. No wine snobbery here. The author serves up solid information about vintages, varieties, and which wine goes best with which food in a relaxed, conversational style that doesn’t intimidate readers. Following the A-to-Z entries, additional advice and information includes: tips on buying wine; ordering wine in a restaurant; understanding the information on wine bottle labels; opening and serving wine at home; how to store leftover wine . . . and much more. Here is everything worth knowing about buying, storing, serving, and enjoying the world’s most civilized beverage—wine! Includes extensive appendices, charts, a glossary, and a bibliography. |
