Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive guide to pairing wine with Asian food, this book presents a systematic approach you can use to make matches with panache and confidence. The authors have distilled their research and experience into an uncomplicated method, one that will allow you to make effortless, yet informed, decisions when selecting wines to accompany your Asian meals, whether in restaurants or at home. The wine selection process reflects an understand-ing of the characteristics of wines and their interac-tions with the spectrum of Asian flavours and cooking techniques. Foods from China, India, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and the countries of Indochina are grouped into five flavour profiles, while wines -- dry, sweet, sparkling, and fortified -- are organised into seven style categories based on flavour, texture and body. The book also contains recipes for 50 classic Asian dishes that are widely enjoyed in restau-rants, yet easily prepared at home. Understanding the ingredients of these dishes and the reasons for the authors' wine recommendations will help you use the matching mechanism with confidence. The principles outlined invite you to experiment with food and wine combinations that are not specifically mentioned here. There is real pleasure in combining wine with Asian food as you discover new aromas and flavours, both in the dish and in the glass. This is your essential companion to enjoying these new frontiers in haste. Includes a general index and a comprehensive index of wines.
Download or read book Godforsaken Grapes written by Jason Wilson and published by ABRAMS. This book was released on 2018-04-24 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are nearly 1,400 known varieties of wine grapes in the world—from altesse to zierfandler—but 80 percent of the wine we drink is made from only 20 grapes. In Godforsaken Grapes, Jason Wilson looks at how that came to be and embarks on a journey to discover what we miss. Stemming from his own growing obsession, Wilson moves far beyond the “noble grapes,” hunting down obscure and underappreciated wines from Switzerland, Austria, Portugal, France, Italy, the United States, and beyond. In the process, he looks at why these wines fell out of favor (or never gained it in the first place), what it means to be obscure, and how geopolitics, economics, and fashion have changed what we drink. A combination of travel memoir and epicurean adventure, Godforsaken Grapes is an entertaining love letter to wine.

Book excerpt: A memorable and mouthwatering cook's tour of today's China As a freelance journalist and food writer living in Beijing, Jen Lin-Liu already had a ringside seat for China's exploding food scene. When she decided to enroll in a local cooking school--held in an unheated classroom with nary a measuring cup in sight--she jumped into the ring herself. Progressing from cooking student to noodle-stall and dumpling-house apprentice to intern at a chic Shanghai restaurant, she finds poor young men and women streaming in from the provinces in search of a "rice bowl" (living wage); a burgeoning urban middle class hungry for luxury after decades of turmoil and privation; and the mentors who take her in hand in the kitchen and beyond. Together they present an unforgettable slice of contemporary China in the full swing of social and economic transformation.
