The Wine Lover Cooks Italian: Pairing Great Recipes With The Perfect Glass Of Wine

The Wine Lover Cooks Italian celebrates the renaissance of Italian wine by pairing fruits of the vine with the finest Italian recipes. Region by region, you'll experience the differences in gastronomy, culture, and geography through the flavors and aromas of Italy's finest varietals and local dishes.
Whites or reds, sweet or dry, fruity or spicy - each shares center stage with the food from its home, from Valle d'Aosta and Friuli-Venezia Grulia in the north to the sunny southern reaches of Calabria and Sicily. Brian St. Pierre's vast knowledge of Italy's viticulture coupled with a glossary of Italian wine terms makes this cookbook an indispensable guide as you explore the wine cuisine of Italy.
