Just received my new book from a couple of authors that I'm just crazy about. Don't know if I've mentioned a book called Culinary Artistry on this forum, but it has become like a bible to me over the years. It's a compilation of what goes with what foods - the book "...provide(s) food and flavor pairing as a kind of steppingstone for the recipe-dependent cook...and once you know the scales, you will be able to compose a symphony." (one of the reviews)
I recommend this book to anyone who will listen. Well, now they, Andrew Dornenburg and Karen Page, have a wonderful new book out - What To Drink With What You Eat - it's another amazing compilation of all drinks - wines, teas, beer, lemonades, on and on.
For example, who knew what would match with paprika???? Not me - and they list seven different drinks. Parsley...likes Sauvignon Blanc. It's just an amazing amount of info.
Denise, you would be wise to have both books as you travel thru the cooking world, especially! When I was still working, I don't know how many times I grab the C. A. book to match things I'd find in the walk in and come up with a great dish! And this one will be just as beneficial, I'm thinking, for any level of cook.

Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.
