    A down-to-earth, entertaining approach to the art of drinking wine—full of suggestions and advice—from the acclaimed wine writer.   Many people see the enjoyment of wine as an intimidating and complicated matter, requiring a mastery of arcane rules and rituals. In fact, there’s no more to it than putting each wine to the ultimate test: Does it taste good?   Wine writer Brian St. Pierre’s book begins by introducing the basic flavors of the several grape varieties used in making wines around the world. Once those are understood, all the rest flows smoothly—what distinguishes the colors and types, how to match wine with food, how to store and serve it, and even how much to spend on a bottle. St. Pierre’s sensible approach combined with stunning photographs and elegant maps of the world’s great wine-growing regions make this the perfect no-nonsense guide or lovely gift for anyone who wants to learn to understand, appreciate, and, above all, fully enjoy the fruit of the vine.  “A more accessible and less daunting introduction . . . The lavish color photographs by San Francisco photographer Deborah Jones are probably more beautiful than useful, but the writing is reassuringly free of jargon and will probably encourage the timid to approach some wines, such as Italian and Rhȏne varietals, that they may have been unsure about.” —San Jose Mercury News  “The only difficulty with the book may be where to keep it—it’s informative enough to use in the kitchen, entertaining enough to keep by your bedside, and attractive enough to display on your coffee table.” —Appelation

    “Being a vegetarian doesn’t have to be boring . . . Damaris truly puts the South in your mouth and let me tell ya, you’re gonna dig it.” —Guy Fieri 
     
    Damaris Phillips is a southern chef in love with an ethical vegetarian. In Phillips’s household, greens were made with pork, and it wasn’t Sunday without fried chicken. So she had to transform the way she cooks.  
     
    In Southern Girl Meets Vegetarian Boy, Phillips shares 100 recipes that embody the modern Southern kitchen: food that retains all its historic comfort and flavor, but can now be enjoyed by vegetarians and meat-lovers alike. The book features Phillips’s most cherished entrees from her childhood made both with and without meat: Chicken Fried Steak becomes Chicken Fried Seitan Steak. Loaded Potato and Bacon Soup is now Loaded Potato and Facon Soup. She gives down-home side dishes a makeover by removing meat, adding interna­tional spices, and updating cooking techniques, and offers soul-satisfying, irresistible desserts that triumph over the meat-eater-versus-vegetarian divide, every time. Phillips found a way to make Southern food that everyone can enjoy, wherever they are on their culinary journey. 
     
    “Love for a vegetarian may have driven Damaris to write this, but it’s her love for vegetables and her knowledge of Southern cuisine that comes through on every page.” —Alton Brown 
     
    “Damaris Phillips has the knowledge, the experience, and the down-right courage to take on her native Southern cooking and turn it on its head . . . vegetarians everywhere will be thrilled!” —Bobby Flay
