Cookbook
The book is an invitation for everybody that has an interest in wine and food. Although we all grow up eating food, we don’t all grow up learning about wine. Wines & Recipes offers an opportunity to learn about different wines and how best to pair them successfully with food. The wine and food pairings in the book are there for the reader’s enjoyment and as guidelines. My advice would be: “Don’t be afraid to get creative and have fun experimenting with different combinations of your own choosing.”
This book is a practical guide to wine and food pairing. I have organised it so that each grape (or, in some cases, wine style) is paired with a recipe – for example, a Sauvignon Blanc makes the perfect pairing with a Ceviche. The grape or wine profile faces the recipe, providing you with all the relevant wine information alongside the instructions for preparing the dish. I have kept the structure of the wine profiles simple and relevant. Each one has key information about the grape or wine style. You can see the country of origin, other countries where the wine is grown, the main regions and famous appellations. All criteria are organised alphabetically.
I am very grateful for my Chilean roots. This book contains several classic recipes from Chile that I hope that the readers will enjoy as much as I do. Although I was born in Chile, I have also lived in many other places. My cooking is a melding of my Chilean heritage and the influence of these diverse cultures. Over time, I have also become aware of the difference it makes to eat healthily. Consequently, it’s important to me to create and share recipes that are good for you, in addition to being delicious.
I wanted to keep the information accessible to the readers. Grape varieties on wine labels had been the biggest revolution since the 80s. The book showcases 41 grape varieties and nine wine styles – this is because, while you can recognise wines by the grape variety anywhere in the world, in Europe the appellation systems (specifically defined areas for growing grapes and making wine) mean that wines are often named by their region, rather than by grape variety.
When I paired dry and off-dry white wines with cheese, it was a big moment. White wines have great acidity and good fruit concentration, but they don’t normally have oak treatment, tannins, or a high alcohol content. These wines are more flexible than red wines when it comes to pairing them with cheeses.
