This show is all about the new Junior League of Wichita cookbook; Pinches & Dashes: Recipes & Life Measures
Pinches & Dashes: Recipes & Life Measures from the Junior League of Wichita is a culinary collection to help you celebrate all of life’s moments – whether big or small. The book includes a range of recipes from the elaborate, special occasion dishes, to fast and simple weeknight family dinner fare. The emphasis is on very fresh ingredients; with many dishes we consider comfort food with a fresh twist.
Containing more than 180 triple-tested recipes, this cookbook represents the very best from Junior League of Wichita. Complementing the delicious recipes are informative sidebars with culinary tidbits and little-known food tips to help both the novice and more-experienced cook work with the ingredients. To enhance the meal, Jamie Stratton of Jacob Liquor Exchange has included expert tips and wine pairings. Pinches & Dashes is a beautiful book, worthy of display on a coffee table, including full-color photographs of selected recipes.
Nine Wichita-area restaurants also contributed some of their most popular recipes to the book: Caffe Moderne, Chester’s Chophouse & Wine Bar, Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, Luca Italian Kitchen, Newport Grill, River City Brewery Co., Sabor Latin Bar & Grille, Watermark Books & Café, and YaYa’s EuroBistro.
The book is organized into six chapters, each filled with delectable selections that will become instant favorites in your home. Learn more and get a copy today!
I’ll also be talking to George Rose from J Vineyards and Winery about one of my favorite sparkling wines – perfect for holiday entertaining, or better yet…year round fun. 🙂
Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
J CUVÉE 20 BRUT NV – 25TH ANNIVERSARY
The non-vintage J Cuvée 20 “Anniversary Label” gracefully opens up with crisp lemon peel, honeysuckle and delicate yeast aromas. Upon entry, these notes are followed by a mix of Fuji apple, grapefruit and a sweet hint of angel food cake. The mid-palate flavors are interlaced with toast, caramel, warm pear, and almond. The acidity adds just enough liveliness and the citrus zest leads to a lingering lush finish. This is the perfect celebratory wine.
