100 Perfect Pairings: Small Plates To Serve With Wines You Love Hardcover – April 12, 2010

I have had such fun reading 100 Perfect Pairings. It's organized by varietal, so if you grabbed a nice-looking bottle of Pinot Grigio the other day and now don't know what to do with it, you can just open up the book and try your hand at a spring vegetable and prosciutto tart. I particularly love the writing and all of the flavor hints. Last week, I was going to grill lamb chops for friends and serve them with a balsamic syrup. Since I had just gotten the book, I thought I'd consult it to see the recommendations. The author's reminder to aim not-so-sweet caused me to go with an herb rub instead. Delicious, and I felt like I was doing my bottle of wine some justice.This book is for people who like to eat and drink but are still figuring out the nuances of different wines and how they go with food. Reading this book is a big shot of demystification.

Just tried my first wine pairing recipe with Pinot Grigio. The baked shrimp with feta and wine was divine. I appreciate the author's down to earth approach and sense of humor. Also, being able to fine the ingredients in my local supermarket. Can't wait to try more!'

If you are looking for out of the ordinary this is it!Very easy to understand and follow... some unusual recipes that will certainly impress your guests.We made several items for a recent event. Very well received.

This is a wonderful book for foodies and wine lovers. I wanted to learn more about wine and food pairings, and got this book before hosting a wine tasting. Great and easy recipes that go great with the suggested wine types. I actually now frequently make the eggplant caponata recipe from this book! Its amazing with or without wine!

I took a class from Jill and immediately ordered these two books.....I think I was still in the class when ordering it on line. They are great recipes, easy to prepare, and they leave you time to enjoy your guests! What else could you ask for! You can't go wrong with any of Jill's recipes and/or books!

The title says it all! Recipes sound good, are doable with readily available ingredients .

I gave this to a relative who has a small boutique winery and enjoys giving private tastings and needed some new recipes for small plates to accompany the wines.

Bought as a hostess gift for a dinner party. Perfect for the wine lover who enjoys entertaining.
