Cider, Hard and Sweet: History, Traditions, and Making Your Own (Second Edition) [Hardcover]
A fully updated and expanded primer for anyone who wants to make cider and for those who just like to drink it. With the rise in consumer demand for local foods and local food products, and the emergence of more small craft food and beverage producers since this book was originally published in 2000, this revised edition of Cider, Hard and Sweet comes at the right time.
Watson's expanded the section on the history of cider to chronicle lesser-known cider producers such as those in Spain and Asia; broadened the selection of North American cider varieties and European cider apple varieties; provided new cidermaking basics tailored to beginner and intermediate cidermakers with special attention to the new cidermaking equipment available; added new recipes for cooking with cider from notable chefs and bartenders; and added a new chapter about the recent popularity of perry (pear cider) available for purchase today. 50 black-and-white photographs
Fresh Fall Flavors-Seasonal ideas for adding full flavor from
Food Network Chef Aida Mollenkamp
(Family Features) - This fall, create a menu to remember by incorporating
fresh, seasonal flavors into the traditional, comforting dishes of the
season. As the air becomes crisp and the sun sets a little earlier each
day, it's the ideal time to warm up your kitchen while experimenting
with fresh ingredients. Plus, matching each dish with a corresponding
wine is a simple technique for enhancing the flavors in the food and
wine.
Chef Aida Mollenkamp, host of the popular Food Network show "Ask
Aida" and Cooking Channel series "FoodCrafters," suggests adding bright
bursts of flavor, such as citrus zest, or a unique topping like
chimichurri, to give a dish an unmistakable taste of the season.
To start off a great meal, or even as a light main dish, try Aida's
version of creamy corn soup topped with an indulgent cheese toast and
crumbled bacon. Paired with a glass of crisp Chardonnay from
California's Mirassou Winery®, this is a perfect pairing for
any autumn evening.
For a main dish, pump up the flavor of a juicy roasted chicken by
following Aida's recipe that incorporates a spiced pomegranate-orange
glaze. Served with Mirassou's fruit-forward California Pinot Noir, this
pairing is a crowd-pleaser for any occasion. Or, try topping a grilled
hanger steak with a colorful and spicy basil chimichurri, and pair with
a glass of Mirassou's lush Cabernet Sauvignon to create an
unforgettable fall flavor combination.
