Book of the Week #50

Wine & Dine with New Hampshire by Carla Snow (Portsmouth, NH: Blue Tree, 2009)

Some weeks a book just pops up so often I know it needs to be the book of the week. This was one of those. It was in a magazine I was reading, it was displayed at a bookstore where I was shopping, and I got an email from a local bookseller about it, all in the past few days.

This volume, beautifully illustrated with Brian Smestad's photographs, "offers an in-depth look at New Hampshire's award-winning wines, ciders, and meads and the pioneer companies who create them" (according to the jacket copy.) Recipes that feature the potable, or pair with it are included.

On Saturday, December 19, 2009 (11am-1pm) Carla Snow and Brian Smestad will be at Water Street Bookstore to talk about and sign this book.
