Cooking with Wine: When drinking it just isn't enough [A Wine Cookbook]

Are you a wine fanatic? Do you love it so much that you want to add it to your recipes? If so, this cookbook is for you. Wine is great for making sauces, cooking meat in, marinating, using it in desserts, and mix it in drinks. Whatever it may be, with wine you can add a luxurious flavor into any recipe.

When cooking with wine, the alcohol evaporates, leaving just the concentrated flavor of wine. So if you have kids, they can eat along as well. When using wine in a marinade, the flavor, the alcohol and acidity all play a major role in flavoring the meat. The alcohol binds with water and fat and so pulls out the flavor compounds from the garlic, herbs, and other seasoning which are fat- and water-soluble. The alcohol then carries those flavor compounds into the meat’s cells. The acidity of the wine makes the meat tender, enhancing the texture and allowing even more flavor to absorb into the meat.

Knowing this and by going through this cookbook you'll get a taste of what goes well with wine and will probably end up experimenting with your own wine infused recipes pretty soon. With just this one ingredient, the possibilities are endless! So get yourself a bottle of wine and start cooking! And don’t worry about buying an expensive bottle, a cheap wine works just as well.
