The Hachette Guide to French Wine (Guide Hachette des Vins de France) is issued annually and is eagerly awaited by wine makers, merchants and connoisseurs. It’s something of a bible as far as French wines go and has taken on a mantle something similar to the Michelin Guide concerning restaurants.

It s an independent and impartial, region-by-region guide to the leading wines of France, compiled by a huge team of wine experts. The team blind tastes over 30,000 wines, of which 9000 make the guide. Each of the wines that is selected is given a rating: the wines included but not given a star are considered to be typical of the area and worth a mention; 1 star is a good wine; 2 stars is an excellent wine; and 3 stars is an exceptional wine and a perfect example of the appellation. There s also an extra award called the coups de coeur which is the highest honor and refers to wines the tasters fell in love with at first sip, and they get their labels reproduced in the guide along their entry. Wine merchants often find their customers requesting a wine just on the strength alone of this award.

Not all French wines are mentioned as some elite producers do not submit their wines for tasting and only one wine from each producer is showcased, however the Guide is a treasure store for wine lovers.

The guide lists a selection of 10,000 wines from 36,000 tasted from 6,500 producers. There are 450 coups de coeurs and 1402 pages packed with information. It also includes updates on the regions, a guide to grape varietals and details of B&Bs (Chambres d Hotes) and self-catering accommodation (Gites Ruraux) on vineyard estates. This guide is available in French only.

Do you feel overwhelmed every fourth Thursday of November? There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be. When was the last time you had a twenty-five pound bird in your oven? When was the last time you made a meal that traditionally required eight or nine side dishes, all of which had to arrive hot on the table at the same time?

Whether its you are a novce or a seasoned cook, you will find something to learn from my years of experience. Every year, I travel around the country teaching my “Thanksgiving 101″ cooking classes, so I estimate that I must have made this wonderful holiday meal about 300 times for thousands of students. That’s a lot of turkey under my belt–literally. When choosing and creating recipes, I worked very hard to have an assortment to fit every kind of Thanksgiving menu. Many of our Thanksgiving dishes are based on convenience foods, and I don’t turn my nose up at sparkling Jell-O salads and candied yams with marsmallows. On the other hand, for more “from-scratch” cooks, I offer a jellied Cranberry Waldorf Salad with fresh berries and walnuts and sauteed Green Beans with Portobello Mushrooms and Bacon. I give you honest appraisals of all the countless turkey roasting methods out there (I’ve done them all), including my favorite Perfect Roast Turkey, which uses the open pan method and a foil wrap to protect the breast from overcooking. You’ll find lots of suggestions on how to organize the meal (truly the secret of a successful Thanksgiving feast) and tidbits of history of why we eat what we eat to celebrate the our forefathers’ fortitude. Exclusively for Look at Thanksgiving 101 as your insurance policy to a hassle-free holiday. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
