whisky from glass to plate.
This attractive new cookbook takes an original slant on whisky as an accompaniment to good food. Martine Nouet is an authority on both whisky and French cuisine, and her book presents 60 recipes honed from her many years of experience as whisky presenter and cook. The recipes are divided into three sections, appetizers, main courses, and dessert/cheese. On the facing pages are exquisite photographs by John Paul with a profile on the best whiskies that match each recipe. In addition an introductory chapter is devoted to the principles involved in pairing of food and whisky, and how to achieve a perfect harmony.
