Our May Book Of The Month is Wine Food: New Adventures In Drinking And Cooking (A Recipe Book) by Dana Frank and Andrea Slonecker.

For many, pairing wine and food starts with the food. A quick check to see what’s in the refrigerator, maybe a run to the store, and finally – sorting through the cellar to see if we have a wine that pairs well with what we’re preparing. Wine Food turns the process around by considering the style and growing region of the wine first, then building a food menu around it. The result is a balanced appreciation for every element of the meal. Recipes range from simple to complex and may include items you don’t usually have on-hand, so allow time for a potential trip to the market before you start cooking.

Enjoy the adventure and great recipes, cheers!
