Miami Food and Wine Festival

Never is the generosity and spirit of the Italian table more evident than at the holidays, when great food and good times are on the menu in every household. In his new book, Mario Batali captures all the flavors of this festive season with enticing recipes that showcase the brilliance of simple Italian food at its best. Four complete menus offer abundant meals for the holidays, starting with the seafood extravaganza known as the Feast of Seven Fishes, traditionally served on Christmas Eve. Mario's rendition includes almost a dozen delectable fish and seafood dishes, from delicate sea bass ravioli to the indispensable baccala, here served in the Vesuvian style. A magnificent boned and rolled turkey breast stuffed with roasted chestnuts is the centerpiece of a lavish Christmas Day's menu, while an assortment of alluring finger foods and a showstopping ziti-and-meatball-filled pasta dome set the tone for a lively New Year's Eve celebration. For the relaxed entertaining of New Year's Day, Mario suggests a procession of marinated salads, pastas, and stuffed vegetables, all served at room temperature, capped off with fresh homemade sausage with sweet peppers. One of the great pleasures of cooking at this time of the year is baking, and Mario Batali Holiday Food includes recipes for a dozen irresistible holiday cookies, some authentically Italian and others family favorites Mario has relished since childhood. You'll also find a host of delectable tortes, custards, cakes, and confections as well as wine suggestions and a refreshing aperitivo to round out each holiday menu. Whether you're creating a full-blown Italian spread or simply adding a touch of Italy to your own familytraditions, Mario Batali Holiday Food will make your holiday gatherings memorably delicious.

* Directs readers to the best vineyards Napa and Sonoma have to offer -- plus selected hotels, inns, restaurants, and an excursion to San Francisco. This easy-to-use guide offers beautiful places to visit for both wine buffs and wine beginners. Napa and Sonoma counties are covered in-depth, and sidebars feature less well known areas like Mendocino. About 100 vineyards are reviewed in this new edition, with all the basic information necessary to plan a trip: directions to each vineyard, background and history, most popular vintages and grower's favorites, special events, details on testings, whether they do mail-order, and more. San Francisco native O'Hay takes travelers up and down the Silverado Trail and off the beaten path. Along the way, readers will learn what it means to decant wine; the difference between processing grapes for red wine and white; and a dictionary of key words used by vintners and wine connoisseurs, so readers will not stare blankly when they hear a wine described as 'a full-bodied Cab with a fruity start and a long peppery finish!' And after a long day of wine tasting, readers will be led to the area's best restaurants for a delicious meal (and more wine, of course). O'Hay shows you where the locals dine, whether it's a quick sandwich on the road or an elegant dinner at the Sonoma Mission Inn. In all, about 25 restaurants are reviewed covering all price ranges. And for those wishing to stay overnight, several dozen BandBs are featured as well, from top-quality inns to more homey, inexpensive places. Also featured are area festivals and events, and a short chapter on San Francisco which includes hotel, restaurant, and sights recommendations.
