Articoli correlati a Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers
A new book that explains how to pair wine with modern Japanese food.
Much has been written about the pairing of food and wine but almost nothing that focuses on Japanese food. It could be because Japanese food is not commonly associated with wine but actually many of its flavors may be perfectly paired with red and white, dry and even sweet wines. Reflecting the increasing popularity of Japanese food in the West and the new interest in wine as an accompaniment to food in Japan, Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers seeks to explain some simple ways to enjoy this non-traditional combination.
Pairing wine goes beyond matching red wine with meat and white wine with chicken. The right match depends on personal tastes and adherence to some general guidelines intended to enhance the aromas of both the wine and the food and to prevent a clashing of flavors. In Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers, leading wine expert John Whelehan explains the elements of typical Japanese flavorings-soy sauce, ginger, saké, mirin, and sesame-as well as some of the more delicate flavors like raw fish and exotic mushrooms, and describes the best wine selections for each. He also gives descriptive recommendations for the best wines to savor with the 58 contemporary Japanese dishes created and presented in this book by best-selling cookbook author Machiko Chiba.
The dishes in this book are simple to make and represent the new wave of cookery in Japan today. Amond the 58 mouthwatering recipes are White Fish Simmered in Spicy Miso, Thin-Sliced Octopus with Citron-Flavored Sesame, Tuna Tataki with Wasabi, Beef with White Sesame and Sweet Saké, Grated Mountain Yam and Carrot, Daikon Radish Gyoza Dumplings, and Tiny Dried Fish and Pine Kernel Onigiri Rice Balls.
Beautifully illustrated and packed with innovative recipes, Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers fills a much needed place in our understanding of how to enjoy wine with today's dynamic Japanese inspired menus.

"This is more than just a cookbook, despite the extensive collection of recipes. It offers a unique and in-depth glimpse into how a professional works wine and food together to create the perfect match." Chicago Tribune
"A high point is a description of the Japanese way of matching wine and food by 'umami, ' that elusive term that translates literally as 'delicious taste' and more practically as 'savory.'...it'll make you sound sooo cosmopolitan at cocktail parties." Miami Herald
"What's most remarkable about this book is that it's clearly the product of a top-notch team: wine consultant J.K. Whelehan deftly offers multiple wine recommendations for each recipe, as well as more general advice. . .Chiba's recipes contain only a handful of ingredients, and can be prepared in under 30 minutes. . . Photographs are unadorned and lovely as is the graphic design . . . A beautiful volume that contains elegant, simple dishes, whether or not you know your way around miso, mirin and wasabi." Wine Enthusiast Magazine
"You don't have to be a wine lover to enjoy the recipes in Japanese Dishes for Wine Lovers ...this fabulous book will please picky eaters with subtle flavors, beautiful designs and healthy preparation...recipes are simply prepared with astonishing results...will open a world of 'umami' (savory delicious flavors)."
