The Essential Guide to English Wine

Peter Richards, Susie Barrie

Publisher: The International Wine & Food Society

Summary

This pocket-sized monograph covers key aspects of English wine – from the history to modern developments via climate change, geology, grape varieties, viticulture, winemaking, recent vintages – while the core of the book profiles the country's leading producers. Wine tourism has its own section ('There's never been a better time to visit English wine country,' declare the authors), as does a listing of key overseas distributors to reflect the growing importance of exports. A map of the main wine regions, designed by Dr Alistair Nesbitt of Climate Wine Consulting, sits at the heart of the publication.

Food - Vegetarian Home Cooking

Mary McCartney

“Incredibly simple, easy-to-make vegetarian standards that McCartney has refined—with a personal twist—to their essential elements.” —Men’s Journal

With Food, the photographer and host of Mary McCartney Serves It Up brings us easy, family-friendly meat-free dishes that will appeal to everyone—including carnivores. And they’re all presented in gorgeous pictures taken by Mary herself, along with personal stories and photos old and new.

Inspired by her mother’s recipes, McCartney has whipped up creative, comforting, uncomplicated, and delicious meals that will encourage home cooks to think vegetarian. They range from savory Asparagus Summer Tart and a no-meat Shepherd’s Pie to family favorites, including Lemon Drizzle Cake and Arty’s Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is good, wholesome fare, cooked well and with ease, meant for family and friends to share. And Mary’s unique bold and beautifully illuminated images are as irresistible as her food.

“A simple book of gorgeous, tasty treats.” —Jamie Oliver

“[A] feast for the eyes as well as the appetite . . . One is reminded that the attractive color in the food we eat comes straight from ingredients grown in gardens, orchards and vineyards, not netted at sea or butchered ashore.” —The Wall Street Journal

“An intimate portrait of the uncomplicated meals she serves her family and friends . . . These recipes aren’t meant to impress or instruct; they are honest, home-cooked favorites for everyday occasions.” —Library Journal

“What make McCartney’s simple items so pleasurable are the chatty family-memory prefaces for each dish and . . . breathtaking color collages of food and people and places.” —Booklist
