Query: One of the best

Unlike the reviewer who found this book impractical, I have found this to be the best books on food that I have read. There is a chpater on wine which explains simply and clearly how to identify good food-wine pairings: excellent advice that has helped me on more than one occasion. Additionally, he explains enough about several wines from around the world that you can go and choose a bottle in confidence that your money will not be wasted.Some of the recipes are complex, but others are very simple such as marinara sauce and dried pasta. Even if you don't use the recipes, the knowlege about food that you'll gain from this book is worth the purchase price several times over.
