Aunt Caroline's Dixieland Recipes
Author: Emma McKinney
Drawn from the "treasured memories of Aunt Caroline Pickett, a famous old Virginia cook," the recipes collected in this 1922 volume take the "pinch of this" and "just a smack of that" cookery of the "Old Southern Mammy" and recreate them in a "scientific" manner so that home cooks may create them in their own kitchens.

Ask The Wine Doctor: All The Questions You Had About Wine But Were Too Busy Sipping To Ask
Author: Edward Finstein
In an accessible question-and-answer format, Edward Finstein (a.k.a. Dr. WineKnow) takes the reader through the various areas of wine knowledge, working with questions he has been asked by clients and students during his quarter-century as a wine consultant, writer, and teacher.
He addresses questions about the growing of wine, making it, finding and buying it (including a demystification of the puzzling information on wine labels), storing and aging it, and serving it (where should you store your glasses to assure good tasting?). Most attention, however, is paid to enjoying it, including how to handle restaurant wine lists and rituals, how your health can affect your tasting, and how to get the most from the matching of food and wine. Each chapter is peppered with “Grape Flashes,” containing interesting bits of information, and the book also includes a glossary of wine terms, a simple guide to food and wine matching, and a selected bibliography for further reading.
Edward Finstein believes that the most important thing about wine is enjoyment – and understanding aids that enjoyment.

He writes wine columns in magazines and newspapers across the country and abroad, and travels around the world to judge wine competitions.
