Whether used to delicately poach fresh fish or braise a hearty stew, wine adds complexity and intensity to food -- not to mention flavor. In his usual engaging style, Goldstein explores a range of wine and reveals how each is used best in cooking. From classic Marsala Chicken to savory pork tenderloin topped with a zinfandel-based roasted-plum jam, each tantalizing recipe illustrates to dazzling effect the benefits -- and pleasures -- of cooking with wine. Complete with enticing photographs of both the food and the wine, this cookbook is an inspiring resource for wine lovers looking to think outside of the glass. Average Rating:

It is the perfect marinade, braising liquid, deglazer, etc. Wine has thus become the essential ingredient, and this book has the recipes to prove. With each recipe there is wine to drink with selection as well as alternative, many times not the wine ingredient used. Most every recipe has its own wonderful full ...

As you can see from the rating I've given it, The Wine Lover Cooks With Wine is a winner. In his earlier book, the Wine Lover's Cookbook (which I also like a lot), the author's premise was that you had a special bottle of wine and wanted to make a dish that would complement it. This one is similar, in that wine is an inextricable part of the meal. Primarily it's an ingredient, though each recipe also ...
