50 Vini di Romania Incontrano 50 Piatti Italiani d'Eccellenza (50 Romanian Wines Meet 50 Italian Dishes)

The only rule about pairing food and wine is: 1+1=3.

Everything else is an opinion or obsolete tradition! There is a different level of harmony when the synergy between food and wine is achieved, augmenting eaches’ separate taste.  This volume offers a few expert tips and enchanting examples.

It is a book of beautiful encounters: stellar Italian chefs meet prodigious Romanian producers. One of the world’s most renowned cuisines meets one of its richest, yet under-explored, cellars. Science meets intuition. Lobster meets Fetească Albă. Spaghetti, Romanian Pinot Noir. Garlic and sugar. Basil and oak. Far from being a cookbook (although it is that too), this collection is like a playbook or a therapy session – only cheaper and tastier! It will help you breach your mental barriers regarding food and wine etiquette.

50 Romanian Wines Meet 50 Italian Dishes (“50 Vini di Romania Incontrano 50 Piatti Italiani d’Eccellenza”) gives a sneak-peak into some of Europe’s best-kept secrets, and the tools and inspiration to (re)discover the joy of seeking new combinations in your own kitchen.
