11.Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide: The Complete, Easy-To-Use Reference on Recent Vintages, Prices, and Ratings for More Than 8,000 Wines from All the Maj (Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide) by: Robert M., Jr. Parker October 07, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £22.90 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £18.24 You Save: £4.66 (20%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £13.86
The 7. edition of Parkers Wine buyer's guide has lost all of it's meaning. The wines are only rated by points, and there are no tasting notes, no "hedonistic Parker writing" to each wine, which is essential when choosing wines for buying and ageing. You can't see the costs of the wines either, only the pricerange of the winery, which of course doesn't say anything regarding the specific wine. The wine guide, which used to be a detailed positive list of wines to buy, is now a general description of the wineareas with an ultra short presentation of the winery. Wine enthusiasts should still buy Robert Parkers Wine Advocate, where the tasting notes are available, but if you already subscribe to Wine Advocate this Wine Guide ... Read More:

12.130 New Winemaking Recipes by: C.J.J. Berry December 31, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £4.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £4.46 You Save: £0.49 (10%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £1.03
If you have enjoyed the delights of CJJ Berry's 'First Steps in Winemaking', then this is an ideal companion and the logical next step. Although one or two of the recipes have been repeated from the first book, this contains over 130 mouth-watering recipes for home-made 'country' wines. Even at today's prices, they can work out as little as 20p per 75 cl bottle!! Unlike the first book, the wines are listed in alphabetical order rather than seasonally which makes them easier to locate. The only problem I found was deciding which to make first and having to limit production to the space available in the house. For beginners, try 'First steps' first as there are more detailed instructions for home winemaking - these are bascially ... Read More:

13.The Irish Pub by: Turtle Bunbury, James Fennell September 29, 2008

I bought this for my Irish father who now lives in England. He visits Ireland regularly and knows some of the pubs in this book. Would make a great present for anyone with Irish roots or also if you're planning on going on holiday there it would be a handy guide of places to stop off at for a pint! A lovely freeze frame of Irish pubs.

14.I Don't Know Much About Wine, But I Know What I Like by: Simon Woods November 13, 2003

After attending one of Simons wine tastings at the 'Taste of London' tour in 2007 i purchased his book to learn more about his particular style of wine tasting. Simon pretty much teaches us how to enjoy wine, for our enjoyments sake, NOT as some poncy lifestyle choice. I've spent a few years investigating the smells and tastes of wine but i've never read a book that cut it all down to the basics, so much so that my own boyfriend started to take an interest in wine. Its not dusty, arrogant or prejudiced. It is pure advice. And good advice at that. Simply put, this is a book for people who dont care what vintage/soil/country/brand a wine comes from as long as it tastes nice. It helps you distinguish what flavours you fancy so there ...

15.Wine Behind the Label 2008: The Ultimate Guide to the Worlds Leading Wine Providers and Their Wine by: David Moore, Philip Williamson November 12, 2007

Great wine guide. It's very similar to Hugh Johnson's pocket guide but with much greater detail. Talking of Hugh Johnson, this guide suffers from the demon proof-reader too - perhaps they've all been sampling too much vino! Unless you've got a fantastic memory, Hugh Johnson's guide is probably more useful as it can easily be carried around on wine buying trips, Wine Behind TL is really too bulky for that. Wouldn't be without it though. It's encyclopedic knowledge will help you track down the wines that you want.

16.Professional Chef - Level 3 - S/NVQ: 3 by: Gary Hunter; Terry Tinton; Patrick Carey February 15, 2008

I am genuinely excited about this book! When I first received it, I had a thoroughly good look through it and was especially impressed with the chefs profiles and the quality of the photographs which support the text. The many pictures and recipes demonstrate an excellent level of culinary competence. The authors have a real feeling for all things culinary and have created a set of books which should be recommended to all young and aspiring chefs. The book is written with care and diligence with detailed observations and well written explanations of the methods, which is so important when writing a culinary manual. Ken Woodward, Senior Lecturer, Culinary Arts Studio, University of Brighton.

Any aspiring young person who wishes to join the catering profession should have a copy of this book. It is thorough, well researched, modern and expresses all the values which surround the British Culinary Arts tradition. This is a valuable edition to any ones cookery book collection. Highly recommended. (Chef Woodward, Culinary Arts Studio, University of Brighton).

I agree with most of the above comments on this book. It certainly opened my eyes to the exhaustive process of wine making and French Beaurocracy! I certainly shall not quibble about the price of a good wine again!!! Patricia is a complete inspiration and a very good writer. I am so pleased to see (from her website) that she appears to be going from strength to strength. She describes the people in this book so well that when there is a death, you feel it, and the news that one in particular died made me cry. I shall certainly be buying her next book.

A lovely book covering a specialised area in good detail and at a bargain price. It shares the style and feel of the better travel guides, and gives enough detail for the reader to feel confident in finding most of the places described. It covers a good price range of food and wine. Go quickly, for like all such books, the passing of time will reduce the accuracy.
