Hey, welcome to the food blog.

I hope you enjoy wine and food as much as I do and like to share recent discoveries and great bargain finds. I am not an expert by any means. I just know what I like and can usually afford, and occasionally splurge on.

The rest of the time is just work, travel, cookbooks, cooking, eating and life with wine. . . it's so much nicer.

Our ratings are based on how much we did or did not enjoy each wine. No professional advice here, just honest opinions. The same goes for the restaurant ratings.

We drink what we like with what we like to eat.

Mario Batali Italian Grill - Coobook Review


What a nice treat for a Monday! The postman delivered 2 new cookbooks for my reading pleasure, of which one is Mario Batali Italian Grill--my first Batali cookbook. (The other cookbook is Mediterranean Fresh a compendium of salads and dressings). The book is full of beautiful, vibrant pictures--something that I love in a cookbook. There are nice sections explaining paring Italian wines with grilled foods, descriptions of ingredients, grill types and techniques.

The recipes aren't complicated--they are fairly straight forward grilled dishes made with simple ingredients. Batali presents the recipes in such a way that makes it seem easy to successfully recreate.

Book: Hardcover - 256 pages
Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers
Publication: Date: May, 2008
