ACADEMIE DU VIN LIBRARY LIMITED The Wines of Canada
Book SynopsisWine has been made commercially in Canada since the mid-1800s but Canadian wine has only really begun to register with professionals and consumers outside the country in the last few decades, as quality has dramatically improved. Canadian wine is now being exported in meaningful volumes to the USA, Asia and Europe and since the beginning of this century the number of wineries has increased more than 250 per cent. In recent years wine regions have been demarcated (with some divided into sub-appellations), provincial wine laws have been adopted and indigenous and hybrid vines have largely been replaced by Vitis vinifera varieties in the main wine regions. After taking readers through the history of winemaking in Canada, The Wines of Canada provides an overview of the country’s wine regions, their climate, soil and other geographic conditions, and explains noteworthy viticultural and winemaking techniques, such as the practice in some regions of burying vines to protect them from extreme winter temperatures. Phillips details key producers of the main wine-producing provinces (British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia), assessing their wines and providing relevant details for those planning winery visits. The book concludes with appendices covering vintage reports, Canadian wine festivals and provincial wine-selling laws. As the first comprehensive guide to one of the wine world’s rising stars, The Wines of Canada is an eye-opening book for scholars, students and wine aficionados alike.Trade ReviewThe wines of Canada is a serious, detailed look at the history, regions and individual producers of wines ... With Canada now playing host to more than 700 wineries nationwide, this is an essential guide. – Christine Austin, The Yorkshire Post

ACADEMIE DU VIN LIBRARY LIMITED Wines of the Languedoc
Book SynopsisThe Languedoc is a land of mountains, sea and Cathar castles in the south of France. For much of its history the region has also been seen as the home of rustic table wines with no international reputation. However, over the last 40 years the wines have improved enormously, with innovations in both vineyards and cellars, helped by the development of appellations and IGPs recognising the individuality of its different areas. Now boasting more than 2,500 wine producers, the Languedoc has attracted interest from around the world, thanks to its affordable land and exciting creative possibilities. The Languedoc is best known for its spicy reds, often made from one or more of the classic quintet of varieties, Carignan, Cinsaut, Grenache Noir, Mourvèdre and Syrah. However, it is also gaining a reputation for its whites, with the coastal appellation Picpoul de Pinet in particular seeing a rise in popularity, and for its rosés, producing twice as much as its fashionable neighbour Provence. The Languedoc is also home to the world’s oldest sparkling wine, Blanquette de Limoux, and to vins doux naturels in the form of delicious, sweet Muscats. It is in the twenty-first century above all that the Languedoc has really found its place among the great wine regions. Here, Rosemary George MW profiles a selection of those producers who have made and continue to boost the region’s reputation. Some are newcomers, while others are inheritors of family businesses, many of whom have studied oenology or learned winemaking elsewhere. All are passionate about what they do, continuing to improve their wines with every vintage. The Languedoc is one of the world’s largest and most exciting wine regions, making Wines of the Languedoc essential reading for professionals and enthusiasts alike.Trade Review"This is the most important book written on the Languedoc so far." - Tamlyn Currin, jancisrobinson.com

Book SynopsisIt’s said that the history of Mexico is, in great measure, the history of its culture, and the history of its culture is, in great measure, the history of its cooking. Restaurant menus and store aisles north of the Mexican border are packed with commonly known dishes that many have come to simplistically think of as Mexican cuisine. But the history of Mexican food is complex—a cornucopia of foodways ranging from indigenous, pre-Hispanic times to centuries of colonial-era influences and contemporary fusion variations. New Cooking from Old Mexico, Mexican food connoisseur Jim Peyton introduces a contemporary and diverse style of cooking practiced in Mexico—called nueva cocina mexicana—combining the elegant Mexican classics and techniques spanning centuries. Following an extensive introduction to the roots of Mexican cuisine complete with an overview of its foodways and new world ingredients, Peyton presents more than 130 recipes. Many of them are brought to life with colorful illustrations accompanied by a glossary of ingredients and culinary terms unique to these food cultures.

WW Norton & Co Effortless Eggless Baking: 100 Easy & Creative
Book SynopsisOne of the most common allergens after dairy and peanuts, eggs are often thought to be a necessity in baking. But what eggs do contribute to your sweets—fat, flavour, structure, fluffiness, moisture—can actually be found in countless alternative ingredients that are easy to find. And with meticulous experimentation, Mimi Council has tested them all: aquafaba (the liquid in a can of chickpeas) for fluffiness, yoghurt for flavour and structure, corn-starch for thick and creamy custards and more. Explaining the role that eggs—and other powerhouse ingredients—play in baking, Mimi ensures that readers understand exactly how and why her recipes work. From classics like Blueberry Muffins and Chocolate Chip Cookies, to original creations like Orange Cardamom Loaf Cake, Lemon Poppy Seed Biscotti and Raspberry Rhubarb Tart, these desserts are flawless. Colourful photographs and easy substitutions for vegan, gluten-free and nut-free bakes make this book a diet-friendly delight.
