 No calorie Count. April 5, 2007
0 out of 33 found this review helpful
I ordered this book and upon receiving it was very excited about pairing wine with food--then I realized there were no calorie counts or other pertinent information with the recipes. Our family is very calorie/fiber conscious and I have vowed I will never buy another cookbook with this information. Therefore I just returned the book. If it ever comes out again with this stuff in it I might reconsider it.

There aren't any vegetarian meals, and I don't eat much on their dining list, so it wasn't very useful to me. Nice hard bound book though.
 The Definitive Guide to Pairing Food and Wine March 5, 2007
18 out of 22 found this review helpful
I've been in the wine trade for over five years now and have been in search of a book to recommend to my customers in regards to pairing wine and food. So far, everything that I've come across has seemed flat and dull and generally boring.
I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Goldstein last week at a trade seminar and picked up a copy of his book, and I must say that I've finally found it, the penultimate pairing guide! He not only goes into which particular wines go with which foods, but goes into the "whys" as well. This makes a tremendous difference, since you can carry that knowledge over to some of the more obscure wines and foods that aren't covered in the book.
Overall, the book is a fantastically fun read in and of itself, and I can't wait to try out some of Joyce's recipes- they look fabulous. Mr. Goldstein has managed to put into words what many of us in the industry love to try and convey- the sheer fun, joy and adventure of pairing food and wine. Salut!
Great gift! January 19, 2007

My husband loves to study about wine. This was an excellent way for him to learn about matching foods and wine. He thought it was a great Christmas gift!

This is one of the finest books on pairing wines with foods that I have ever come across. Not only does it discuss why certain wines go well with different foods, it actually offers recipes and pairings as proof! I've tried a few recipes, and every one has gone perfectly with their recommendations. There are several more I want to try, and eventually (slowly, because I don't often cook) will, and I am confident that all other recipes will hold up to the few I've tried.
