Organic wines - those made from grapes grown without pesticides and chemical fertilizers and produced with little or no additives or preservatives - constitute one of the fastest growing segments of the wine industry. Over the past ten years producers of organic wine and the varieties they make have increased dramatically. The Consumer's Guide to Organic Wine is the premier guide to organic wines, domestic and foreign, available in the United States. Whether you are a wine connoisseur, investor, store owner, restauranteur, hotel manager, or just like to drink high-quality wine, The Consumer's Guide to Organic Wine will increase your appreciation of wine, the wine country, and the wine-makers who are making better, healthier wines. Evidence indicates that the proper use of wine will help you live longer, look younger, and generally enhance your health. The authors present many scientifically demonstrated health properties of wine along with authoritative references. Such important topics as wine and pregnancy, wine's use in the health care industry, and wine and alcoholism are covered in detail. Wine producers themselves explain their decision to make organic wine and their particular artistry in doing so.

An introduction to the cooking of Vietnam featuring such recipes as spring rolls, sweet and sour soup, and Vietnamese fried rice. Also includes information about the land, history, and holidays of this south-east Asian country.

School Library Journal

Gr 5-8-Three attractive titles in an extensively revised series. In each volume, the front matter comprises close to half the book. Geography, history, holidays and festivals, typical ingredients, and sample menus are all covered. Safety tips are also included (with no mention of adult supervision), as are tips for healthful cooking. Each book presents about 20 recipes, mostly focusing on lunch, dinner, and holiday foods. A number of recipes are vegetarian, and several seem to be low in fat (although nutrition information is not included). Skills needed cover a fairly large range, from easy to difficult, such as working with phyllo dough (Greek) or making yeast bread (Norwegian). The narrative pieces are smoothly written and offer some interesting tidbits. The authors are either natives or have some family connection to the country under discussion. The pages are a warm buff color, and the design allows plenty of space on the page for the text and the nicely reproduced color photos. All in all, these are good resources for reports and for older kids who want to add something new to their cooking for family or friends.-Lauralyn Persson, Wilmette Public Library, IL Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information.
