Synopsis

The definitive, illustrated guide to the best food and wine partnerships, from two experts on the subject. Mark Hix describes a wide range of ingredients and provides example recipes, with comments on how cooking processes affect the flavour and texture of a dish. Malcolm Gluck responds by suggesting a broad selection of the most sublime wine matches and enlightens the reader on the chemistry behind every perfect culinary marriage. The book is divided into food groups - such as vegetables, fish, meat - and is then broken down by individual ingredients. Recipes are used to demonstrate the points with the key matching wines. Useful boxes cross-reference to other ingredients and cookingtyles, while wine checklists allow quick-reference.

Media Reviews
I suspect Gluck is the vinous version of a literary phenomenon that peaked and fell with the circulation of The Sun: the arts grad as snotty hooligan. The Independent on Sunday; ...his prose is as purple as his wine. Hello! The Vinny Jones of wine writing Nicholas Faith; Gluck's readable books created the genre that his critics are now rushing to imitate. Patrick Matthews, Time Out Mark Hix is the master of deliciously simple recipes Charles Campion, The London Evening Standard; Unusually for a chef, Mark Hix is wise enough and bold enough to stick to producing the very simplest dishes that use 'everyday' ingredients. Mark is also extraordinarily adaptable, and can turn his hand to all the European cuisines, and others besides. He's definitely a chef I'd take with me to the jungle. Rory Ross, Tatler
