  Click on picture to ENLARGE Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers By Machiko Chiba / J.K. Whelehan Japanese food is not commonly associated with wine, yet many dishes may be perfectly paired with red and white, dry and sweet wines. Reflecting the increasing popularity of wine as an accompaniment to ethnic foods, this is a great book for wine lovers seeking new ways to stimulate their palates and enhance the enjoyment of their favorites. Best-selling cookbook author Machiko Chiba provides easy-to-follow recipes for fifty-eight delightful dishes, all illustrated in full color, while wine expert J. K. Whelehan recommends the best wine to savor with each. In addition, Whelehan discusses the relationship between Japanese food and wine in general, such as how typical ingredients such as soy sauce or sake affect wine selection. A helpful appendix gives instructions for cooking rice, making dashi stock, and preparing fish, while a glossary explains the less familiar ingredients and suggests substitutes where possible. This is a book of enormous value to anyone who not only loves preparing delectable dishes but also enjoys an often more formidable mission: the quest for suitable wines that will complement them in the most inspiring way. …I’m sure readers will feel educated, enlightened, and entertained, which is precisely how we should always feel when pondering my favorite subjects of food and drink…Dr. Yukio Hattori, Creator and Star of IRON CHEF CLICK Here and you will be taken to more Japanese & Asian CookBooks. |
