Grossman’s Guide to Wines, Beers, and Spirits
Turn to Grossman’s Guide to Wines, Beers, and Spirits for quick answers to your questions about any alcoholic beverage and for insights into the history and origins of liquor. Whether you’re looking for technical advice or interesting conversation pieces, this resource is sure to meet all of your needs.
Customer Review: Get up to speed on spirits in 600 pages
There may be more recent books focused on wine or beer, but this is the most comprehensive guide to alcoholic beverages in general. Tired of listening to a couple of colleagues discussing a subject that I knew nothing about, I read this fascinating book, and soon turned the tables: until I showed them evidence, they simply would not believe that Amaretto was made made from apricot pits rather than almonds! Many other products, like Spanish sherry, have interesting details and histories that I had never suspected. About the organization, roughly one-third is devoted to wines (a chapter per country), one-third to other alcoholic beverages, and one-third to technical advice and appendices on menu-planning, storage, vintages, etc. A highly enjoyable and informative book, very nicely balanced.
Customer Review: Grossman’s sets a standard
Meant principally as a textbook, _Grossman’s_ is nevertheless imminently readable for fun. If you feel awkward in some social situations because you can’t comment intelligently on fine drink, this is a good place to start. You’ll come away from the book with a working knowledge of:
* world wine regions
* legal definitions of various liquor types
* liquor, beer and wine production
* principles of marketing and purchasing
* beverage service
* proper glassware
* liquor trivia
Certainly, this book lacks a contemporary voice. With an original copyright date of 1940, some of the text has remained unaltered for 60 years. It misses trends in recent American beer production, and doesn’t give very complete information about emerging wine producers, such as post-Apartheid South Africa. But at its heart, this is a thoroughly objective textbook which has been written and continuously edited specifically to be brand-neutral. This makes it the pre-eminent textbook for use in a general survey course on liquor service, or an invaluable resource for anyone trying to gain a healthy appreciation for alcohol.

Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2006: An Entire Year of Recipes (Food & Wine Annual Cookbook)
Almost one million subscribers heartily agree: there’s always something delicious going on in Food & Wine. And it’s all here in the annual cookbook, which includes every recipe published in the magazine during 2005—more than 500 dishes accompanied by scrumptious-looking photographs. The contributors remain absolutely stellar, cuisine’s finest, including Jamie Oliver, Tyler Florence, Ferran Adria, Donna Hay, Daniel Boulud, Wolfgang Puck, Emeril Lagasse, Bobby Flay, Todd English, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten. Such mouthwatering recipes as Ina Garten’s Chunky Guacamole, Bobo Surles’ Sizzled Shrimp Provençale, and Grace Parisi’s Dulce de Leche Bread Pudding were tested on home appliances, making them easy to re-create. In addition, the volume includes 50 brand-new test-kitchen tips, as well as an extensive glossary of accessible wines. Here’s real food that real people who want to eat well can actually prepare; dishes that reflect the many ways we cook today.
Customer Review: great cookbook
I picked up this 2006 edition at a discount book store and love it! This annual cookbook has 600+ recipes. I don’t have a subscription to the magazine so I was glad to have a book that provides all the recipes I missed. For the price I paid for this cookbook I saved money compared to the cost of an annual subscription. The recipes are similar to the kind you would find in Gourmet Magazine, probably a little daunting for a beginning cook, but a treasure for a “foodie”. There are some pictures and lots of wine advice including wine pairing suggestions which is nice! This is a great addition to a home cookbook library, and a cookbook that a serious home chef would use often.
