This little collection of 12 recipes is not a serious cook book and it does not want to be one. Some of the recipes are not described in details with the accurate amount of the ingredients, since this is how I received them from the winemakers. But they have the extra value, that winemakers shared their own favourites, plates they often cook, and they are sure about the wine pair as well, since they have had many opportunities to try. We hope you will enjoy booth cooking and eating these dishes, plus you may try them with the recommended wines.
I like wine and despite some celebrity doctors with the No Alcohol-mantra, I drink wine with all my dinners. I also like using wine while I am cooking, the exciting taste of a good wine gives an extra touch to most meals. Let me share a simple recipe myself, from yesterday. We had some leftover pan-seared chicken liver from the day before, so I fried them in a little butter, added some rosemary and thyme (but you can use other green herbs to your liking), and I added just a dash of sweet Tokaj wine. With a hand mixer I made a smooth paté and, in five minutes the leftover, boring chicken liver was upgraded into a delicacy, my kids liked it a lot! It is a Christmas recipe, in a sense that it takes minutes to make, and it lets you enjoy the festive season without stress, as it is meant to be.
