5 out of 5 stars Chose It Over Its Chief Competitor   July 1, 2008
I have already commented on the virtues of this book which influenced me to prefer it over the highly vaunted volume: What To Drink With What You Eat by Dornenburg/Page. See the review there for the contrast, if interested.

The only thing that bugged me here was the apparent reluctance to use the word "Christmas" (!!!), but only the innocuous "holiday" in the book's "Winter" section. Are you kidding me? I realize MacNeil is the host of a PBS series, but has the tyranny of political correctness now extended this far? If the author finds no personal significance in the meaning of this most cherished of American celebrations, it was at the very least a major missed opportunity to address the occasion (directly) in her otherwise fine work. (Needless to say, the same applies to the "Easter"/"spring celebration" situation.)


5 out of 5 stars wonderful gift   June 29, 2008
I received this as a gift and I am here to tell you, it is wonderful. I have made many, many of the recipes and they have all turned out great.. Even love it so much, I went out and bought it for 4 friends and they tell me they cannot wait to try the recipes.

I already am a fan of Karen MacNeils Wine,Food ,and Friends on PBS.Shes very eloquent and soo knowledgable.She presents her ideas in a friendly way as well.The recipes are phenomenal also.I tried the meatloaf with sundried tomatoes and the stuffing so far.They turned out great and the less expensive wines were not difficult to find.I cant wait for her Season 2 series on PBS.


5 out of 5 stars Entertaining As Well As Educational   September 13, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I may love wine, but I'm by no means an expert. As a food writer and long-time cook, I know my way around the kitchen, have no trouble whipping up a dinner party, and enjoy feeding people. However, I needed some help/advice for wine pairings. Oh... I know enough to know which whites work best with poultry or seafood, and I know a heavier beef dish calls for a more substantial red wine. Beyond that, I'm a novice learning my way. This book provides loads of information, suggestions, tips and encouragement in an entertaining style that isn't intimidating or condescending. The author knows food and wine, she loves food and wine, and it shows!

I highly recommend this book if you want to brush up your pairing skills, or if you simply want to learn a little more about wine and food for deliciously entertaining dinners. Those very seriously into wine (who know much more than I do) will also find the book a useful addition to their collections, as her recipes are wonderful.
