I have a new favorite book in the food department!
This is a great book to know what pairings accompany the meal you eat. Or at least you get a great idea of the flavors you would match best, and can choose your own kind based on those tastes.
We decided to do the Pepperoni Pizza and Booze night.
It was a hit too!
They say you need a fruitier wine and sweeter brown ale to pair up with Pepperoni pizza. They are correct! It was a perfect compliment of each other. I drank the wine, though I did taste the beer which was good, and I felt the wine brought out the flavor of the pizza, between the tomato sauce and mild spice of the pepperoni, it was a perfect combination.
I aim to try more pairings in this book too. Just need to pace myself... don't want to become a drunk! (^_^)
5/5
Recommend? Yes.
DISCLAIMER: I received a copy for review. I was not compensated for my opinion or this post.
I totally need to pick up this book. Just like the title, my husband (and his friends) are beer drinkers, I prefer wine.
ReplyDeleteNice! I don't drink all that often, but this seems like it would be a handy reference when I want to seem more knowledgable than I am.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds interesting. I am familiar with wine to a certain extent. I had a boss once that was the curator of a large wine society.
ReplyDeleteBarefoot Merlot is a nice wine. I know what I like but am not knowledgeable in what to choose for certain meals. I would like to give the book a try. A pepperoni pizza night, plus drinks, with my hubby sounds like a good time to me.
