Starred review from October 1, 2015
This very focused and gorgeously illustrated book is a necessary purchase for all active public-library cooking collections. It will be enthusiastically circulated, and a noncirculating copy may be helpful to keep on the ready-reference shelf in the general reference department. And what's the fuss? Start with the book's dedication: For those who like to eat, drink, and learn. Don't we all want to feel we are that kind of person? The author is a certified wine expert who posits that wine and cheese pairings are one of the greatest food and drink combinations we can experience. Now, he does admit that being good at putting wine and cheese together takes practice. To remove any intimidation factor, Centamore offers a clarifying, supportive, enthusiastic program in pairing. The basic principles are explained in clear terms. He highlights the important considerations involved, such as determining dominant flavors and textures. The question of whether to complement or contrast is addressed (all presented with the author's admonition to like what you like and go with your preferences). The heartmeat?of the book is a series of profiles of specific wines, arranged by category: sparkling, white, red, and dessert wines. For each wine, suggestions are made as to what kind of cheese goes best. This primer ultimately inspires readers to create successful pairings on their own.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
