Book Reviews of Food & Wine: Pairing Made Simple
Book Review: A quick reference guide
Summary: 4 Stars
A paraphrase from the opening lines of Joanna Simon's book on the same topic summarises the situation well: "The complete guide to matching food and wine does not exist....yet". However, Mary Dowey's book does an admirable job for the foodie wanting a logical wine recommendation, with a clear explanation of why the match should work. The book is easy to read, and is organised by dinner party courses, so the host should design the menu, and can then match wines accordingly. The images used in this book do an excellent job of making the mouth water, but I would have preferred them to be more prescriptive (ie. present comparative examples of colours and wine styles with the same food, or the same wines with a range of different dishes to help foodies who are planning a theme to their dinner parties). Otherwise, I found this book very useful, and still refer to it occasionally, when stuck for a wine and food match.
