The Work
Although UNESCO designated the French gastronomic meal as a feature of humanity’s “intangible cultural heritage” in 2010, the art of pairing food and wine has only recently been recognized in social and cultural constructions of taste. To get started you simply need to understand how the association between flavours works physiologically.
This book allows readers to understand these “workings” and offers them the keys to achieve their own associations going as far as including other drinks such as tea or beer.
The authors finally suggest a list of simple combinations, based on France’s favourite dishes in a celebration of everyday life.
