Hey, Cookbooks Talk About Wine, Too!


Well . . . at least some cookbooks talk about wine.  See that great big glass of Australia Shiraz in the background?

And you can count on wine being included in Soby's New South Cuisine Cookbook.  In fact, every recipe—from soups and salad, to main courses and desserts—includes a wine pairing suggestion.  And usually the text not only suggests a wine (or occasionally, beer!), but explains why.  It's almost like a quick class in food-and-wine pairing.

If you don't already have a copy, go to ShopTable301.com and get one now.  OK, OK! I know maybe I'm being immodest, since I'm one of the co-authors.  But the real heros of the book were Chefs Rodney Freidank and David Williams, along with Table 301 restaurateur Carl Sobocinski.  They did the heavy lifting.  I just helped stitch together all the great content they provided.
