From the Back Cover

"What a great idea! WHAT TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT is
enormously educational and entertaining, and should fit with anyone's
lifestyle!"
-- Robert Mondavi, winemaker and winner of the 1991 James Beard Outstanding
Wine and Spirits Professional Award

"WHAT TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT is a unique recipe, combining the authors'
creativity, expertise, scholarship and great love of all good food and
drink. The respect and admiration that food professionals have for them
gives them access to a wonderful depth of knowledge and experience that
they bring to life in their work. Karen and Andrew might just be the
ultimate culinary / literary pairing! "
-- Daniel Boulud, chef-restaurateur and winner of the 2003 James Beard
Outstanding Wine Service Award, and the 2006 Outstanding Restaurateur Award

"You can't do better than to follow Karen and Andrew's advice!"
-- Loraine and Peter Boyle, journalist and actor

"Dining will never be dull for non-drinkers again! Karen Page and Andrew
Dornenburg may have created their best book ever, chronicling in an
enlightening and inspirational fashion the most mouth-watering marriages
between non-alcoholic beverages and the foods we love to eat. Who else
would have thought to serve sparkling water with a splash of melon puree
(instead of Champagne) with prosciutto? I'll also definitely be using WHAT
TO DRINK WITH WHAT YOU EAT as my bible for entertaining my friends who
drink. And though I'm a relative, Michael Sofronski's photographs are
unique and exciting -- some of the very best food photography I've ever
seen."
-- Susan Dey, actress

"This book teaches you the principles of understanding how to find the
perfect match for any meal. Whether you're drinking Champagne or beer, sake
or port, this book makes finding the perfect match easy and fun."
-- Roger Dagorn, master sommelier, and David Waltuck, chef-owner of
Chanterelle (NYC), winner of the 1996 James Beard Outstanding Wine Service
Award and the 2004 Outstanding Restaurant Award

"Andrew and Karen have created the most exciting and comprehensive guide to
wine pairing that I have ever seen....You will be using it constantly to
fulfill your own curiosity and to throw the best parties."
-- Eric Ripert, chef-owner of Le Bernardin (NYC) and winner of the 2003
James Beard Outstanding Chef Award

"What a brilliant idea for a book! For someone who entertains as much as I
do, this is exactly the book I need."
-- Deborah Szekely, founder, Rancho La Puerta and Golden Door spas
