The Vineyard Cookbook: Seasonal Recipes & Wine Pairings Inspired by America's Vineyards Hardcover - 2009

Media reviews

"Scott-Goodman features more than 32 American vineyards in her cookbook, which simplifies food-and-wine matching through easy-to-follow recipes and general pairing guidelines. The 60 recipes, including such dishes as pan-seared duck, with red wine and orange, ginger-soy chicken wings, and risotto with broccoli rabe and parmesan, are accompanied by wine suggestions from the vintners themselves. Vignettes on each winery and notes on the most popular wines are included, along with more than 100 photos."

"A great, accessible volume of basic, foolproof recipes, using recognizable ingredients and simple preparations...Each plate is paired with a wine, of course; where this book stands out is in providing price points.  The recipes are coupled with three wines, each with a different dollar range, making it easy for the budget-minded to appropriately pair, and alternatively, the cook with a cellar to showcase something that has been put away for a special occasion."
--Oregon Wine Press

"Barbara Scott-Goodman's new Vineyard Cookbook allows you to pick a dish and the perfect wine at the same time...The pages are sprinkled with interesting features about many of the country's most unique wineries. The recipes are grouped by season, making it easy to pull off a sublime meal several times a year. Let Barbara Scott-Goodman's Vineyard Cookbook inspire your next dinner party."
--Anthony Dias Blue, The Blue Lifestyle Minute

"The magnificent photographs by Colin Cooke, Kirk Irwin, and Wes Walker bring to life the majesty of wine country from Santa Ynez Valley to Columbia Valley in the West and from Virginia to the Finger Lakes in the East. When coupled with mouthwatering images of food, this coffee table book is fresh and easy. Expect its pages to accumulate stains from frequent use in the kitchen. What better fate for a recipe book?"
